ivanna - klympush-tsintsadze, prevail.ympush—tsintsadze, thank you forjoining us. hello there. the weather is going to be changing through the rest of this week. but on wednesday, temperatures reached 22 degrees in surrey. but also in the northeast of scotland where we had some sunshine for a while. towards the northwest of scotland, things are rather different and looming large really on the satellite picture is this broad band of cloud that is heading down from the northwest. it's due to a weather front, of course, and that front is notjust bringing cloud but his band of rain. that wetter weather is pushing further into scotland and northern ireland. and that weather front will take the rain south eastwards over the next couple of days, pushing away the warmer air ahead of it and replacing things with more of a northwesterly breeze and bring cooler conditions following the rain. but the rain is still falling early on thursday morning in scotland and northern ireland. heavy in places, that rain will just trickle down in n

ivanna klympush—tsintsadze mp, welcome to hardtalk. —— ivanna klympush—tsintsadze in kyiv, welcome tohank you for inviting me. it's a pleasure to have you on the show. i just wonder that if you now have any mixed feelings about the speed and the scale of ukraine's battlefield successes in recent days, given that the response from putin in moscow appears to be a very significant escalation of his military commitment. well, definitely, you're putting it right, stephen. it is about escalation and readiness to escalate that we are seeing in this speech that was delivered by putin, and we see that he is probably trying to address several audiences, from my perspective, both internal audience in the russian federation, trying to — not to accept that he is basically losing to ukrainian armed forces but is trying to present this war is the war against the common west, against nato countries, and is basically trying to ensure that he is fighting the war with the whole west, saying to the west that probably — threatening the west and looking for the weak links as well — maybe someone who can br
