It is not known exactly what the commander and his fellow officers were accused of.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.
"Remember: always be truthful, not neutral.”

Worrying aides most are signs that voters are now linking unhappiness over the economy with government corruption.
A new Fox poll that asked voters how concerned they were about key issues. High prices came in second. Number one? Corruption in government.

The BBC has a fascinating, broken relationship with commercial media - constantly taking its cues from an industry where most of the business models are in a long-term death spiral, and replicating their shoddy content, despite facing none of those constraints itself.

Reform’s @NadineDorries tells me “there’ll be no misogyny in the Reform party because I won’t be there if there is” (in response to @itvnews undercover)
“So you've had no misogyny yourself within the Reform Party.”
“The opposite.”
Reform UK’s Nadine Dorries says the comments of the “very inexperienced” Sarah Pochin do not align with her interactions within the party.

A certain Rachel asked Nobel laureate Paul Krugman a question at Oxford last night, casually noting the IMF’s praise for UK deficit and debt reduction and the productivity puzzle being revised away. All during her time as Chancellor, as it happens. Laughter and applause.
How we like to warm up before the show…@cathynewman plank off @TimesRadio
