The war in Ukraine is accelerating on all fronts. After a winter with hardly any movements and whose main milestone was the pyrrhic capture of Bakhmut by the Russians, Kiev's troops have initiated all previous movements to carpet their announced offensive.
The ports of Berdiansk and Mariupol were hit by Storm Shadow missiles, London's latest gift to the Ukrainian war effort. Russian radicals are beginning to accept that the war is going from bad to worse and that it will be very difficult for Putin to emerge from this adventure.
