MORE THOUGHTS ON UKRAINE Now that the Russians have withdrawn from Kherson, which effectively prevents any hope they may have had of linking up with the separatists in the east of Moldova, the land fronts have stabilised, at least for the moment, while the Russian army regroups. The threat of a tactical nuclear strike seems to have receded and we have heard no more of Russian claims that Ukraine intended a false flag ‘dirty bomb’ explosion on their own territory. The recent explosion in Poland, which killed two civilians, was almost certainly caused by a soviet-era Ukrainian missile attempting to shoot down a Russian missile, possibly a grad fired from Belarus at Lviv (Lvov as was), or something fired from the Donbas. The small number of T14 Armata tanks have yet to perform on the battlefield and we await to see how effective they may be. Their presence will reinforce President Zelensky’s requests for more modern tanks to replace the T72 they are currently operating.
