Five months into its counter-offensive, Ukraine has managed to advance by just 17 kilometers.

Russia fought for ten months around Bakhmut in the east “to take a town six by six kilometres”.
Sharing his first comprehensive assessment of the campaign with The Economist in an interview this week, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, General Valery Zaluzhny, says the battlefield reminds him of the great conflict of a century ago.

“Just like in the first world war we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate,” he says.

The general concludes that it would take a massive technological leap to break the deadlock. “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.”

Sir Keir Starmer claimed the Tories “are not even pretending to govern anymore” as he took aim at the contents of the King’s Speech. The Labour leader claimed the Conservative Party had reached a “new low” and been reduced to the “desperate spectacle of claiming it offers change away from itself”. He told the House of Commons: “Today’s address shows just how ridiculous that posturing is because what we have before us is a plan for more of the same, more sticking plasters, more division, more party first, country second gimmicks and no repudiation of the utterly discredited idea that economic growth is something the few hand down to the many. “In fact today we reach something of a new low because they are not even pretending to govern anymore. They have given up on any sense of service. They see our country’s problems as something to be exploited, not solved.” But Rishi Sunak defended his Government’s legislative plans for the new parliamentary session, arguing that he was taking “long-term decisions to build a brighter future for our country”.
