While NATO nations shake in fear at offending Mr Putin by having forces in Ukraine in an obvious NATO engagement. While North Korea & Iran give Russia's invading army more drones & shells than Europe and US provide Ukraine to defend itself. What world will we have?

At least 17 young Cubans died on February 15th in Ukraine while serving in the Russian army. The Cuban regime facilitates the recruitment of young Cubans into the Russian army while providing political, diplomatic, and communication support to Putin.

“[The authorities] feared him when he was alive, and they fear him now his dead.” As Muscovites continue to lay flowers for Alexei Navalny, his mother is said to be resisting pressure to agree to a ‘secret funeral.’ Our latest report from Moscow. Camera @AntonChicherov

🗞️This week’s column: Two years into the full invasion, and thousands of Ukrainians killed, shows we in Scotland cannot continue to nestle away in north-west Europe and indulge in the luxury of avoiding a serious and grown-up conversation about defence. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

'Scotland cannot continue to nestle away in north- west Europe and avoid a serious conversation...

With death in Russia, war in Ukraine and the need for security across Europe, Scotland must not shy away from the serious part it must play in making safer an ever dangerous world, writes Stewart...

My evening message. It’s April 8, 2023. There is a war in Ukraine. russia invaded our country. We bravely defend our land. A lot of Ukrainians will never come home. While they have children waiting for them. This message is my everyday ‘fight’ with Twitter algorithms hiding Ukraine and with time as people might be tired of long war. Please share ♥️ #thereisawarinUkraine

Vera, 42, left her basement in a Chasiv Yar on the outskirts of Bakhmut today to find some food when a Russian shell exploded nearby. Her 14 year old son stood near the body speechless.

Two days ago Russians killed my colleague, yesterday I got information that one of my colleague, who released from captivity, committed suicide, today one more my colleague was taken as prisoner of the war. I have no energy or time to cry. We keep fighting. #MLRSforUkraineNow

This is Olga, the daughter of my colleague. Before Russian invasion, she baked delicious gingerbread. Then she cut her hair and went to the front with her husband. They were both killed a few days ago. We are still asking for long range distance weapons. Too much death

It’s our 4th anniversary! On this day in 2018, volunteer doctor EB01 answered the first call for BASICS in Dorset. Since then our medics have been called to give enhanced emergency care at over 500 incidents around the county (and a few further afield).

Abortion is a fundamental right for all women. It must be protected. I wish to express my solidarity with the women whose liberties are being undermined by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Le 6 juin 1944, plus de 150 000 valeureux héros venus de 15 pays débarquent ou sont parachutés en Normandie. Avec leurs frères et sœurs d’armes français, ils ont donné leur sang, leur vie, pour la liberté et la paix. Pour la France. Notre gratitude est infinie.

This has needed saying for a long time- am remembering those headline pictures shaming healthcare workers sleeping whilst on their night shifts theguardian.com/society/2022…

Sleep-deprived medical staff ‘pose same danger on roads as drunk drivers’

British anaesthetist pleads for doctors and nurses to be allowed naps and limited night shifts, as in other critical workplaces

‘VT’ versus ‘SVT with aberrancy’. The long list of VT "suggestive" ECG features is difficult to recall and apply in real time. How can we simplify things? Here is my ABCDE approach – five simple Qs to ask: 🧵👇
