Europe offers platitudes, Trump dithers, and Ukraine and its extraordinary people stand on the brink. Nato must step upFor 40 cruel and bloody months, Ukraine has fought the Russian invader. Since February 2022, when Moscow’s full-scale, countrywide onslaught began, its people have faced relentless, devastating attacks. Tens of thousands have been killed or wounded, millions have lost their homes. Ukraine’s industries, shops, schools, hospitals and power stations burn, its fertile farmlands are laid waste. Its children are orphaned, traumatised or abducted. Despite repeated appeals, the world has failed to stop the carnage. And yet Ukraine, outnumbered and outgunned, has continued to fight back.Ukrainian heroism amid horror has become so familiar, it’s almost taken for granted.

Third Test, day one: Australia win toss and make 225; West Indies 16-1Australia openers again fail to fire in day-night Test at Sabina ParkIt was a strange way to start. Out of Australia’s last 146 Test matches before taking the field at Sabina Park in Jamaica on Saturday, off spinner Nathan Lyon had missed seven.
