I realise I said a couple of days ago that I didn’t want to say much about the situation in Ukraine on here, but I think it’s fast becoming something that we should all be very, very concerned about. As others are now saying, things could escalate very quickly indeed: the invasion isn’t going as well as Putin intended, and there’s no knowing to what depths he will stoop if he gets desperate. His threat to use nuclear weapons may have been an attempt at a sabre rattling distraction, but things could become very nasty very quickly, especially if other powers get sucked in. As much as I don’t want to sound melodramatic, this is possibly the biggest crisis the world has faced in many, many years.

All we can do is wait and watch. Good luck to us all.
