The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The shift east, away from Ukraine’s largest cities, could prove challenging for Ukrainian troops and advantageous for Russian troops, who Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, noted last week are more skilled at fighting in rural terrain. Luhansk’s governor, Serhiy Haidai, on Saturday said there were “far fewer people” willing to evacuate after a missile strike on a railway station killed at least 52 people and injured 98.

He is a director of the Times Newspapers board. There was also the familiar kowtow to a handful of Conservative MPs in rural seats who might swing a leadership election, but no changes to the planning system that blocks the development of onshore wind, the fastest way to deliver cheap renewable energy. As a biographer of Winston Churchill, Johnson knows that success in war does not guarantee winning the peace. The pandemic, despite Johnson’s bumbling performance at the outbreak, and war in Ukraine have conveniently filled the policy vacuum. On May 5, his party will be watching the results with a gimlet eye. The question is whether the lull is temporary relief or a return to superhero status for a battered but resilient prime minister. “Partygate” has returned to the headlines after all. Polemics over parties and whether the prime minister was “ambushed by (birthday) cake” seem trivial when set against a real war in Eastern Europe. A poll of party members this week saw Johnson’s personal standing rise 15 points, back into positive territory. The war has saved Johnson’s leadership from a sense of downward drift.

Nato countries including Britain and the US had already agreed to provide Ukraine with “new and heavier” weapons during a meeting of the alliance’s foreign ministers last week. Tariq Ali quoted the Tory prime minister Stanley Baldwin in a speech from 1932. We say Russia out of Ukraine, but that won’t solve the problems that provoked the war. There was a terrifying example last week of the potential for this to lead to clashes between nuclear-armed powers. This air armada goes alongside a huge increase in troops so that 40,000 soldiers are now under Nato’s command on the alliance’s eastern flank. The US is also now looking to South Korea to oppose Chinese influence in the region. The announcement came days after the Ukrainian foreign minister said he had one demand of Nato—“Weapons, weapons and weapons.” Nato is operating a major aerial operation in support of Ukraine’s military. “We agreed to help Ukrainian forces move from their Soviet-era equipment to Nato standard equipment,” she said.

And history will remember who looked the other way." According to the British weekly, Johnson's ratings fell to the lowest of any prime minister since John Major in 1994. As The Economist says, the British prime minister needed a boost from somewhere.
