Thank you Starsky for informing us about this important development - anything that protects Ukrainians is protecting all of us. I remember that young couple who were murdered when the woman was pregnant, not only from the news but because Oleksander Mykhed wrote about it in his brilliant book The Language of War.
On a Saturday evening in late October 2022, I was walking from work to the Ukrainian rally outside Downing Street when I came across an Iranian rally in Trafalgar Square - the fact that Iran was supplying russia with Shakheds had only just hit the news, at around the same time as the protests that started after Masa Amini''s murder, and Iranians were raging. I spent a bit of time there, then walked on to the much smaller, weekly Ukrainian rally. Well... the Irainian joined us. I remember looking back towards Trafalgar Square to see a huge and very loud crowd filling Whitehall, chanting "Death to the Dictators" as they headed our way. The rallies merged into one.
That's one of the most amazing memories of my life, but it's devasting to think that nearly three years on, all these horrors (and more) continue. While Ukraine is only one part of the world where people are suffering while resisting annihilation, it is somehow holding the whole world away from the brink of self-destruction. You have my endless gratitude and respect, and I'll keep supporting you in every way I can.
