During the second third of the month, a powerful storm called Dudley moved across the North side of Britain and devastated the infrastructure throughout the area, powerlines were pulled down, train tracks were blocked, trees were toppled and buildings were damaged.
During the last third of February, Russia invaded Ukraine, we saw the build-up of troops and military hardware the previous month, many people I spoke to thought it was just a political game. We now know that Putin wasn't playing a game, his troops crossed the border with the goal of toppling the current Ukraine government. I would call it a polarity war, an attempt to realign Ukraine's alliance towards the Russian federation and away from Nato and the EU. They want to stop Ukraine from having an independent Supreme court and short term-period based democracy and make Ukraine more like Belarus. Most of the free world condemned the invasion and put sanctions on Russia, many Russian people were against the invasion and tried to protest. People around the world were afraid of the consequences of this new war in Europe. They were afraid it may escalate into a bigger war or cause even more price inflation. Above all, we didn't want ordinary people people in Ukraine to die because of a war. Most ordinary people like myself don't want any war on Earth.
The conflict in East Europe continues.
