A retired colonel of the British army, Richard Kemp, had the opportunity to see the Ukrainian counteroffensive with his own eyes.
He has served in many hot zones around the world: Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He warns that a ceasefire, as some are proposing, will not bring about the end of the war — because Ukraine is not russia’s only, or even main target. Ukraine’s victory is vital for the security of the whole world.

Ukrainian blood is paying for the freedom of many millions more than those just in Ukraine. I wish our leaders saw that more clearly than they see Russia's empty threats and Kremlin-backed opposition. A lot of "We should have sent this a year ago, and now more brave people are dead because we stalled" feelings.
The best time, as the saying goes, was yesterday. The second-best time is today. Slava Ukraini!

A stark reminder that the west isn't the good guys.

Both the thesis of the piece and your comment can be true.

Yes. It was just a fun juxtaposition :-)
