With the defeat of Viktor Orban in Hungary and Aleksandar Vucic in Serbia, Putin has lost two of his European Trojan horses.
As his soft power declines, is he reverting to hard power tactics?

Well that aged terribly given the remarkable Utd comeback at Old Trafford
#MUNROM
Man Utd have had a few insane comebacks recently, if you look at their incredible tie with Lyon last April in the Europa League, when Mainoo and Maguire sealed a win in the quarter-final, even though they didn't deserve to win at all

Excl: The Conservatives have turned to David Cameron to boost fundraising and rally supporters, with the ex-PM taking top billing at Tory events and reaching out to donors
Cameron is appearing at benefits like the Two Cities Tory association annual lunch next month, where tickets cost up to £345 to bolster party coffers
He’s also been calling on existing and lapsed Tory donors to try to entice them back into the tent and open their wallets
Cameron and Badenoch are talking regularly, acc to people familiar with the matter... a striking rapport given their differences of opinion on EU, green agenda, aid etc
FT revealed earlier this year that Cameron was assisting Badenoch with PMQs prep

I went to see Richmond vs Caldy in the @Champrugby at the weekend 🏉
It was fairly evenly matched at the start, before Richmond pulled away with several tries to make it 35 - 12 at half-time ⚫️🟡
However, Caldy came back strongly in the second half to make it a close finish
NEW: Wedding. Engagement. Babies. Move to Australia after travelling to Bali. Hyrox. Half-marathons.

The WSJ lays out what keeping Gulf oil flowing actually involves:
-50,000 US troops, 20 Navy ships, two carriers across the region.
-$2–3 Billion USD/month or 67-100 Million USD/day above normal military spending
-Aircraft, warships and crews under mounting strain.
-Some US officials see the situation as untenable without more international help. Coalition efforts have failed.

The State Department just announced that it has approved a potential $2.1 billion sale of Patriot interceptors to Ukraine.
Zelenskyy has repeatedly pushed for the missiles, which would be funded by allies and partners, per the release.

Rees-Zammit is having one of those Rugby 08 games, where everything he touches seems to work and all his steps seem to be bamboozling the Tigers
The Welsh international’s try was sensational and is made for TikTok highlight reels after he got the ball standing still

The 25-year-old is also doing his defensive work, which he has been criticised for in the past, by stopping a certain try through making Hassell-Collins - another double-barrelled name - not catch it
Tigers lead Bristol 12 - 7 at Ashton Gate after Radwan’s try
