UKRAINE RELIEF 1 year on Days after Ukraine was invaded Karol Swiaki set up Ukraine Relief that now involves dozens of volunteers who’ve dispatched almost 3000 tonnes of aid to 🇺🇦 It was an honour to say a few words to mark the anniversary at Castlepoint. Well done to all https://t.co/tLLpkZJOUY — PolitiTweet.org

Thoughts from Munich - 🇺🇦 One Year on: Let’s prevent a frozen conflict - Time for the West to move up a gear: 👉Agree SUCCESS = complete liberation of Donbas and Crimea. 👉More mil. support (incl air power). 👉 A long term security plan preventing further 🇷🇺 aggression. https://t.co/DwVgoX4uYR — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see PM here at the Munich Security Conference confirming UK’s continued commitment to Ukraine. Clear appreciation here for what UK has done to date. The biggest risk to European long-term security and prosperity is Putin winning. @MunSecConf https://t.co/P0CnYsVYyA — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s talk air power (capability) rather than fast jets (platforms). Our article for @Telegraph on why Ukraine tanks require top cover. @HamishDBG https://t.co/PcPKGIjmQU — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve entered a new era of insecurity - are we ready? My article in the i on line: Our prosperity is dependent upon our strengths (and political appetite) to counter growing threats. This now requires a bigger army. https://t.co/HQkEPngAeb — PolitiTweet.org

STARK WARNING from the Head of NATO: ‘The current rate of ammunition consumption is higher than the current rate of production.’ Time to urgently upgrade procurement (for Ukraine and our own limited stockpiles) or Putin will take advantage of our weakness. https://t.co/ZLGF5bMLYB — PolitiTweet.org

‘This House would not fight for King & Country.’ 90 yrs ago this OXFORD UNION motion was carried (275/153). Churchill said that Hitler took note of the result. Last night I, Gen Sir Richard Shirreff & Union President Charlie Mackintosh OPPOSED the same motion. We won! (190/88) https://t.co/EQdb0AMcHK — PolitiTweet.org

Air Power to Ukraine? It takes 4 years to train a fast jet pilot. So let’s get 🇺🇦 cadets into our flight schools now! And think outside the box - how to amass serious air power - fast. The SUPER TOCANO could be an interim solution. 👇 And the RAF just mothballed 60 variants! https://t.co/EY3lOURrcw — PolitiTweet.org

A passionate plea from Europe’s front line.👇 TANKS cannot be deployed without top cover to protect them. Only then can they affectively seize and hold ground. If we gift tanks we must offer the requisite AIR POWER assets too. https://t.co/nFJuza1sNw — PolitiTweet.org

The Chinese spy balloon should be our SPUTNIK moment. A reality-check on the new Cold War we face. This time on two fronts. Eisenhower woke up to the Cold War danger then. So must we. But is the West ready? My article in today’s Mail on Sunday: https://t.co/06ef0KQwZh https://t.co/gPhcCx7nmH — PolitiTweet.org

CHINA SPY BALLOON: Puzzled more robust action’s not been taken after causing Montana’s airports to close. Had the US tasked a similar asset over China’s skies Beijing’s response would be very different indeed. Yet again China tests the boundaries of acceptability and we blink. https://t.co/MLrJIuBkdk — PolitiTweet.org

Sending tanks to Ukraine is the right call but exposes the sorry state of our own diminished land warfare combat effectiveness. Ukraine needs 300 tanks. We cannot exhibit conventional deterrence ourselves with a fleet of just 148. My joint article in @Telegraph @hamishdbg https://t.co/Gl9yZjcaXX — PolitiTweet.org

LAWANGEEN ABDULRAHIMZAI Today I asked for a full investigation as to why so many red flags were missed that led to the tragic death of Tom Roberts in Bournemouth last year. The Minister agreed - so many lessons to be learnt. https://t.co/lHVAHJMjtM — PolitiTweet.org

TACTICS vs STRATEGY … Tanks to Ukraine? Yes - they provide the battlefield superiority to fend off Russia’s likely spring offensive. We must think beyond military assistance alone in how we help Ukraine and stand up to Russia long term. Here are my 7 strategic steps: https://t.co/xtlZl3BObg — PolitiTweet.org

Tobias Ellwood MP @Tobias_Ellwood

Russia prepares for spring offensive: 👉 Ukraine needs tanks. 👉 NATO has tanks. 👉 Go figure. https://t.co/NbLWFztjxg — PolitiTweet.org

Tobias Ellwood MP @Tobias_Ellwood

UKRAINE NEEDS TANKS: Good to see UK raising the bar in hardware sent to Ukraine. (Though our allies should not set conditions for sending their own tanks.) But the gifting of so many variants of kit is not a long term solution. So this is what we could do 👇 https://t.co/nIa2e6YcxD — PolitiTweet.org
