for. And I think that is what is really going on, and you can
see some of the logistical difficulties that the Russian forces
are experiencing. You can see and I think the Russian Defence
Ministry have themselves conceded that they're having
casualties. This is a disastrous misbegotten venture by
President Putin. It can lead to no good whatever for Russia, as
we in the West have said continuously from the beginning. It
needs to end. If he has a proposal to negotiate and withdraw,
then all the better.''

tell you it's nothing I've seen so far in his behaviour that

reachable for the past two days. The last time we spoke he said
he’s waiting for the train from Lviv to Poland, ” said a
Nigerian woman who asked to go just by her first name, Precious.

people [could] and his phone had low battery so he had to go
offline.”

> In less than 24 hours, more than €23,500 was raised by
organisers who connected on Twitter. “There are still many black
students and families who live and work in Ukraine who are stuck
there,” the description for the campaign read. “Many more have
made it to Poland to face horrific anti-blackness and racist
Ukrainian and Polish soldiers and police officers.”

> One Nigerian medical student, who had been studying in Dnipro
and asked not to be named, said the British students he studied
with were bused to the Polish border by university authorities,
while Africans were left behind. By Sunday he was driving in a
four-car convoy towards Romania, where they heard they would be
allowed to cross. “The black students, the African students are
completely neglected. We are humans too,” he said.
