On 20th November 1990 Margaret Thatcher was at a summit in Paris as support for her Premiership collapsed within the Conservative Party.

It appears that the Russians are seeking a 37-year-old Ukrainian haulage contractor named Artem Timofeev, resident in Russia since 2018, whose trucks were used to transport the drones which attacked four Russian air bases.

Cromwell was more concerned about foreign led insurrection than the religion or political viewpoint of his opponents. 1/2

The Norwegian PM very deliberately chose Liberation Day to present the first ever Norwegian national security strategy.
It has three main priorities: Rapidly strengthen our defense capabilities, increase the resilience of Norwegian society and strengthen our economic security.

From neutral in 1940 to the UK's strongest ally alongside the Empire, Commonwealth and Dominions.
More closely connected than people appreciate with Robert the Bruce's sister becoming Queen of Norway, and Henry V's Queen of Sweden (this included Norway, Sweden & Denmark).

🙄🇩🇪 German Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz said that sending peacekeepers to Ukraine requires Russia's consent, Die Zeit reported.
He stressed that a peace agreement and security guarantees can only be discussed if there is a clear mandate from international law, which must be agreed with Russia.
🤔 Merz also added that the fighting in Ukraine is "very far from a ceasefire".

Do you remember Flanders & Swann, their London omnibus, hippopotamii & gnus? Donald Swann's father was born in St Petersburg, his autobiography Home on the Neva is a delight.
His Russian nanny told stories about Kyiv being the 'Mother of Russian Cities'.
Next Yuzivka in 1917.
