This is your regular reminder that the Russian war in Ukraine would be over if Putin withdrew his troops who have no business there. Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around.

The best weapons that are currently helping our warriors defend Ukraine should be produced in Ukraine. The development of our own weapons production is a top priority.
In particular, artillery – L119 and M777 systems, armored vehicles – robust CV90. These are the weapons of @BAESystemsplc, which is starting to operate in Ukraine.
I met with the company's CEO, Charles Woodburn. It was a very productive meeting. The company's office in Ukraine. Localization of production in Ukraine. A joint result for the security of our country, the whole of Europe and the free world.
Together we make freedom stronger. Thank you for your visit to Ukraine and the meaningful start of our cooperation!

Russian military experts write that Sweden’s famous 155mm Archer self-propelled howitzers have now arrived in Zaporizhzhia and are delivering devastating and accurate fire on Russian positions.
These are some of the absolutely best howitzers in the world.

After the attacks of 9/11, Her Majesty The Queen requested a break from a 600 year tradition and instructed the guards at Buckingham Palace to play the US National Anthem in a show of solidarity with our American friends. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
