'Sea of Azov is forever lost to Ukraine' The deputy prime minister of the Crimean government, Georgy Muradov, has said “The Sea of Azov is forever lost to Ukraine” according to reports from Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency. They quote him saying: "The Sea of Azov is forever lost to Ukraine. Ports in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions will never again be Ukrainian. I am sure that after the reunification of our regions with Russia, the Sea of Azov will again, as it was before, become exclusively an inland sea of the Russian Federation." The agency also quotes Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-appointed official in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region as saying the same – that Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions will never be returned to the control of the Kyiv.

The irrepressible Henry Kissinger once said “it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal”. That may be how the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky feels now, ... orfonline

Martin Lewis advises paying a booking fee to secure the best deal NOW Martin Lewis has issued a 'ticking time bomb' warning to homeowners after suggesting they prepare in advance and lock in a new cheap mortgage now to try and avoid higher interest rates. He issued a stark warning to those who already have a mortgage, after the cheapest rates more than doubled since October, while energy and food prices are also soaring, and inflation is at a four-decade high of nine per cent. Martin said: 'If you're coming to the end of your rate, you need to prepare in advance. 'You might even want to pay a booking fee to lock in a cheap mortgage in case things get more expensive and if it doesn't you can get a cheaper one elsewhere, so it's like an insurance policy so you lose a few hundred quid having locked in a cheap mortgage.'

Battle for Donbas shows Russia has finally got its act together That Russia looks poised to close the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the battle for the northern half of the Donbas should not come as a surprise.

Now though, the conductor has got a grip and the instruments are working together at least. Yahoo
