61 m. ago ‘I’d never loved it so much’: Ukrainian woman who felt compelled to return home

On the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Yuliya Danilina talks about her decision to return to Ukraine despite the risks – and the legacy of occupation she found‘I felt paralysed by fear’: Danilina’s escape from Ukraine (2022)Before Russia invaded in 2022, a red dog collar arrived in the post. I’d bought it for my rough collie, Pippa, but it was too large. So I drove to Bucha, a 20-minute drive from my village of Klavdievo-Tarasovo, to get it resized by a leatherworker there. He was very kind and said he could fix it and to come back later that week.The next day, the war started. I managed to escape the bombs and food shortages of the early weeks of the war, I left Ukraine and came to England to be with my then 27-year-old daughter, Sasha. Arriving in March 2022, it took me about a month to come to my senses – I didn’t realise how deeply in shock I was. Continue reading...

2 h. ago There is a clear Trump doctrine. Those who can’t see it won't have a say in reshaping the world | Nesrine Malik

The sooner the US’s former friends realise the old global order is over, the sooner they can organise to regain power and agency – the only language Trump understandsA resonant phrase during Donald Trump’s first administration was the advice to take him “seriously, but not literally”. It was a singularly detrimental expression, widely quoted by politicians and the media. Its adoption fit with the position many felt most comfortable taking: Trump was bad, but he wasn’t smart. He wasn’t intentional. He wasn’t calculated and deliberate. He sounded off, but rarely followed up with action. He was in essence a misfiring weapon that could do serious damage, but mostly by accident.The residue of that approach still persists, even in analysis that describes Trump’s first executive orders as a campaign of “shock and awe”, as if it were just a matter of signalling rather than executing. Or that his plan for Gaza is to be taken – you guessed it – seriously, not literally. When that was suggeste...

3 h. ago Patricia Arquette on Trump, communes, art and ageing: ‘When I was growing up the whole world was pretty creepy’

She won hearts with True Romance – and an Oscar for Boyhood. The actor reflects on her TV show Severance, political chaos in the US and why human beings are a disasterIf escaping the world by running for the hills looks increasingly attractive to many of us – perhaps living on a commune – Patricia Arquette feels like that too. Head to the mountains, she says. “Plant seeds and farm.” But maybe not the commune part – she lived in one as a child and it wasn’t always utopian. If our conversation is more dystopian than usual, it’s probably because we’re talking about Severance, the hit Apple TV+ show now in its second season. In the first series, we were introduced to Lumon Industries, where some workers, tasked with doing something unknown but probably malevolent with data, were willingly “severed”; their work selves detached from their outside selves, with no memory between the two. If the drama started as an off-kilter take on work-life balance, it soon morphed into something much dar...

4 h. ago ‘No more excuses’: Europe under pressure on defence spending three years after Russian invasion

Continent is being told to take more responsibility for its own defence in light of US president’s overtures to PutinA few days after Vladimir Putin sent Russia’s invading forces into Ukraine in February 2022, the EU’s then foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, asked his staff for an urgent military aid plan. They came up with €50m (£41.4m) to help Ukraine.“And I said: ‘Are you crazy? We are talking about a war,’” Borrell recounted in late 2024, shortly before standing down. “Do you know what does it mean, a war? Put three zeros behind! And then we started taking things seriously.” Continue reading...
