Good god, I just love the guy. Most definitely politician of the month to Ukraine. gov.uk/government/new…
@IAPonomarenko As much as I am indifferent to the UK having left the EU, I am happy that the UK are a solid member of NATO.
@IAPonomarenko @IntelCrab “It is not the disposition of NATO forces but the appeal of its values that actually threatens the Kremlin” Wonderfully worded
@IAPonomarenko @IntelCrab VERY interestingly, not hosted by some authoritative recognised source (eg Chatham House etc) but on the Gov.uk site itself.
@IAPonomarenko The sad part is Putin's essay will be referenced for a long time and people will believe it. Zelenskyy should have written something like that. Instead UK's Defence Secretary had to write it. Weird.
@IAPonomarenko The best and boldest article written by a western politician on this issue.
@IAPonomarenko @IntelCrab Ben Wallace has stood out for a while as being quietly competent amongst otherwise incompetent and work-shy ministers, don’t like his domestic political views, but he’s done well as Defence Secretary and this piece demonstrates it.
@IAPonomarenko BBC should read it and change terminology they used for invaiders!
