A retired colonel of the British army, Richard Kemp, had the opportunity to see the Ukrainian counteroffensive with his own eyes.

He has served in many hot zones around the world: Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He warns that a ceasefire, as some are proposing, will not bring about the end of the war — because Ukraine is not russia’s only, or even main target. Ukraine’s victory is vital for the security of the whole world.
