- A small story …A member of the Kyiv hotel staff, Oleksandra,asked me quietly why we were leaving the city. “Will they come”? “Maybe”,I said and wished I hadn’t. “But we’ll be back”. “God bless you all for coming”,she smiled.I had no words. No words at all.
- Off to walk the dogs. I’ll be about three or four resignations.
- Good morning . Early observations. Kyiv still stands. Kyiv still very much in Ukrainian hands. #Kyiv
- Good Morning from Ukraine. Cold and snow flurries. Day Eleven of this wretched invasion. And a thought occurs. Superpowers don’t behave like this. This is the stuff of mad dictatorships. #Ukraine
- We moved out of Kyiv today so we can continue broadcasting at a more secure location in Ukraine .Never easy decisions. So many reasons to stay, one good one to leave . #Kiyv
- Goodnight… extraordinary city this, full of extraordinary people who know what’s coming and simply stand defiant. #Kiyv
- Good morning from Ukraine. Cold and specks of snow . Dark days now . We will not invade, they have. We will not target civilians, they are. We will stop firing to let people out. They don’t. Day 12 of this hell. #Ukraine
- By the way, if it’s safe for the country to head back to the shops, it’s safe to end the remote news conferences and get journalists back in the same room as the ministers they are questioning .
- The more I watch this unfold here, the more I think this will turn out catastrophically for Putin #Ukraine
- MUST WATCH : Flattening the curve ? What does it mean ? Here is a brilliant explanation of why social distancing means taking pressure off the NHS
- Good morning, Russian bombing of western Ukraine is now rattling windows across the border in Poland…a NATO country. We are now a tiny miscalculation away from a much broader war here . That is the reality of the horror Putin is unleashing on Ukraine for no reason .
- Take a bow all those behind this show. On stage, backstage, everyone involved. A quite brilliant spectacle, with a breathtaking backdrop. Occasionally this country just nails it. #PlatinumPartyatthePalace
- A brave Russian politician has just stood up to say “We want to be a nation of peace …I cannot stay silent when pseudo-historical nonsense has become an excuse for Russians to kill Ukrainians”.Unfortunately Alexei Navalny is in one of Putin’s prisons. He doesn’t like opponents.
