This image would simply not exist if Putin had succeeded in his military ambitions in Syria and Ukraine. This is a moment that only exists in spite of him and in defiance of him, regardless of how conciliatory Damascus has been towards Moscow since December 8th 2024.

A symbolic diplomatic moment for Syria and Ukraine - Russia repeatedly tried to kill both of these men, and it is well known now that Ukraine established relations with HTS prior to Operation Deterrence of Aggression.
Zelenskyy one of the first world leaders to visit Damascus.

Перемовини з Президентом Сирії Ахмедом аш-Шараа. Домовилися працювати разом, щоб дати більше безпеки й можливостей для розвитку нашим суспільствам. Обговорили ситуацію в регіоні та перспективи щодо її зміни до кращого. Обговорили й обставини війни Росії проти України, вдячний за підтримку. Є великий інтерес до обміну воєнним і безпековим досвідом. Дякую за слова поваги до наших людей. Також торкнулися ролі України як надійного постачальника продовольчої продукції та обговорили спільні можливості посилити продовольчу безпеку в усьому регіоні. Дуже добре розуміємо, які енергетичні та інфраструктурні виклики має Сирія зараз. Готові працювати разом, щоб можливості наших держав і народів збільшувались.

@BenjBenjBenjM @SophieLB1 @MrRBourne @Keir_Starmer Except lenders are now massively risk averse and often won't lend on homes assessed as having low to moderate safety concerns. So you can build what you want, but if nobody can get a mortgage it's pointless
English
@SophieLB1 @MrRBourne @Keir_Starmer No, we’re saying that reasonable people can differ on what constitutes a serious threat to life when the current approach has collapsed housebuilding.
English
This is why @Keir_Starmer is asking for the Reform housing guy to be sacked??
It's just a statement of the obvious that stringent new safety rules have costs, and maybe those costs have to be weighed against the purported benefits? That this is controversial is insane.

@Matthew85030857 @LilywhiteLab I was addressing your point about 'young people being offended so easily' when the issue people have is that RDZ went out of his way to defend Greenwood and dismiss what he did. Obviously that doesn't mean anyone should stop supporting Spurs.
English
@J_Brook @LilywhiteLab I'm not defending anyone, I don't care tbh. I support Spurs and if he comes in and wins games that's all that matters to me. I don't have to like him or agree with what he did at another club.

@Matthew85030857 @LilywhiteLab I'm middle aged and I totally agree with him. What generation are you from where defending sexual abusers is normal?
English
@LilywhiteLab Honestly I can't. Not sure if it's a younger generation of Spurs fans, but they get offended so easily. Let's see how many give a fuck when he gets us in champions league next season.

It’s perfectly reasonable for a woman (or anyone else) to be unhappy about their club hiring someone who went above and beyond to launder the reputation of a man credibly accused of domestic & sexual abuse, and if you think that’s ‘woke’ your brain has been rotted by the internet

The co-founder of Women of the Lane says her group opposes the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as Tottenham manager and she will stop attending matches over the issue.
English
@pokeefe1 @THSTOfficial Nothing wrong with the statement. They will have consulted their members, which is the point of the Trust
English
@THSTOfficial You're supposed to be representative of the fans. What dialogue have you sought before producing a statement. "Our preference". The trust isn't about your preference. You've forgotten the core point of your being.

New: We obtained phone calls between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó showing them conspiring to lift EU sanctions on Russia -- from oligarchs to banks to the shadow fleet.

@simonyemane @botzarelli I'm a great leader, it's all the people refusing to follow me who are the problem
English
@botzarelli Fact that the players and fans didn’t take to him proves he didn’t.
English
This board keeps overvaluing tactical ability but undervaluing leadership and character when choosing coaches.
You need both to sustain success long term.
Ignoring this is how we ended up with Frank.
De Zerbi is us making the same mistake all over again, just more expensive.

@MartinCloake The chronic issues are significantly down to Levy, the acute ones down to those in charge since he left
English
Is it worth considering whether there is any link between the structure Daniel Levy created and maintained over two decades and the current unfit for purpose structure?

@GeorgeSessions It is over in practical terms, if not mathematically. To paraphrase someone clever, when a football team shows you who they are, believe them
English
Full-time: Tottenham 0 Nottingham Forest 3. Cruel score for Spurs after strong first 45 but they collapsed after break. 3rd goal rubs salt into wound. It is not over. Seven games left but that will hurt and especially after pre-match efforts. What do #THFC look like by April 12?
English
Igor Tudor will not be undertaking post-match media duties as he has just been informed of an immediate family bereavement. Assistant coach Bruno Saltor will be speaking to us instead shortly. football.london/tottenham-hots…

There’s going to be a lot of derision for the pre-match scenes after weeks of being told by the same people we need to do more to help the players. Don’t listen to it, the fans are the only people at Tottenham who have done their jobs properly for a long, long time.
English

Fans did their part, players have given some better effort, but ultimately there is a terminal lack of technical quality in this squad and it’s too much to overcome.
English
A very clear indication from Nottingham Forest the priority is Sunday at Spurs.

The Trump administration is systematically dismantling sanctions on Russia to try to tame an oil price spike of its own making. And to make matters worse, it won’t even work to tame prices
