The UK's support for Ukraine will not waver. I say that with real confidence because it has not wavered since the outbreak of this conflict.
I think the tide is turning, has turned, and I'm sure they will go on and win this.
I got into a lot of trouble in a primary school when an eight-year-old encouraged me to do the 6-7 thing and the whole class joined in. It went viral and when I left, the headteacher told me sternly that it was against the school rules.
Throughout this conflict, I have seen the incredible fortitude of the Ukrainian people and the iron will of a nation that refuses to be cowed.
