“Ukraine is the instrument for Russia to test the West’s ‘red lines.’ Lilia Shevtsova
Dear Vlad ( a letter from your grand papa) Dear Vlad I am deeply saddened, your mama has asked me to write to you, I hear that you are up to your old ways, teasing your cousins and claiming injustice in ensuing affray. Your covetous nature compels your jealous theft of all their sweets, and depriving them of their toys despite the fact that you have plenty, your envy disrupts the household, and you're always telling tales to mama. If you were an infant this might be expected, perhaps, but now that your balls are sixty-nine and you are greying with conceit, it's time to put on a shirt and pull up your pants and stop being a spoilt child. Until I hear of your maturing from these childish ways, you're not welcome to lunch or anywhere near our house, sadly for you, this summer we'll fish the Don without you.

O, absolutely agree Liz, he is so conceited, and playing such a clever game, he will get the minimum of what he wants by rattling the guns.

Paul, this poem is well-deserved and more too. I vacillate between loathing and helplessness! Hope the conflict is over soon.
