Like the soldiers they battle to save, combat medics in Ukraine are under constant attack. Three years after the invasion, one NHS doctor bears witness“The frontline here is cold, hard, true war.

Defence figures suggest heavy use of long-range monitoring could reduce need for soldiers on the frontline with RussiaBritain believes that a European-led security guarantee to Ukraine could be provided with considerably fewer troops than the 100,000 to 150,000 called for by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week in the event of a peace agreement.A European-led assurance force for Ukraine would not necessarily involve large numbers stationed on the frontline, defence sources indicated on Tuesday, and could therefore be in the region of a few tens of thousands strong – or even fewer.
