GUEST: Robin Horsfall, soldier, writer, campaigner and keynote speaker.

The war in Ukraine continues despite a lack of media interest. Russian
forces have made repeated assaults along the Donbas front and attempted
an offensive towards Kharkiv. Perhaps Putin wanted some kind of victory,
no matter how insignificant, before the Victory Parade in Moscow on May
9th. But it has cost Russia dearly, with the loss of more than 15,000
soldiers killed or wounded and he has nothing to show except a few pock-
marked fields and piles of rubble that used to be villages. What is the
point of Putin’s war, and when will the Western allies finally show him
it is fruitless to continue?
