Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

We’re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more.
Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.
