Worth A Shot

Scrutiny at last of Ukraine, with even the BBC feeling compelled to ask about the shooting of conscripted teenage prisoners of war in the legs. Of course Russia is bad. But that does not make Ukraine good. It is not.

Also being mentioned is the status of Ukraine as the global centre of the surrogacy industry. Next up, one trusts, will be attention to its role in the trade in trafficked women. These two are not unconnected, and the present focus on Ukraine may be the opportunity to point that out.

Meanwhile, the whole thing is heading towards the settlement that Jeremy Corbyn and the Stop the War Coalition have advocated from the start. Ukraine says that it will want "guarantors", although based on the last month it may have trouble finding any. But Russia has its own lined up. China. And very probably India as well.
