The economic impact of the war in Ukraine is tough on its allies, the country's first lady has told the BBC, but as Britons "count pennies", Ukrainians "count casualties".

Olena Zelenska told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that if support for Ukraine was strong the crisis would be shorter.

In an interview recorded in Kyiv, she also said it was important to keep highlighting the human toll of the war.

Interesting these comments, as wonder if they will be repeated after 1000 pensioners can't pay or die from the cold

Tory voters?

I don't think even the Conservatives are stupid enough to wish their core voters to die.

Just one small problem with this post. There is already a 37 billion pound support package in place with funding aimed at the most vulnerable.

No, The vast majority of the payments haven't been received yet and start this month. Those on the very lowest incomes have already received some money but will get more.

They will also get the £400 discount on their energy that we are all getting and those on pension credit will get an extra £650. Whilst I agree things are going to get really tough for a lot of people and we will all have to type about I genuinely believe particularly with the older generation a lot of them will turn off their heating and not eat nutritiously out of fear of not being able to afford it rather than just make adaptations.

What I do think has been good so far with the measures in place is that everything that has been offered will be done automatically and people don't have to apply for it. There are thousands of people in this country that are entitled to support but don't claim it.

So should we adopt the 'I'm OK Jack' attitude as a country? We done that once before and it cost us a lot more than 100,000 lives and a huge debt that crippled us for decades. Might be why the USA is commuting billions to Ukraine, it knows the other options (tried in the past) would cost far more in lives and money.

Thank god we in the UK are not directly fighting against becoming Russian like the brave Ukrainians are. In doing so they are also keeping the layout of Europe as us, if they fail then that will change dramatically.
