As Joe Biden signed the bill that will provide $61bn in military aid, Kuleba said: "Hallelujah." Ukraine had identified seven Patriot air defence systems it could use to protect civilians in major cities outside Kyiv.

Cities such as Kharkiv, which has been repeatedly bombed this year, could "live in peace and their industrial production continue", he said, as long as Ukraine's allies adopted a more hard-headed approach to helping his country.
Kubela said Ukraine's allies should switch from "expressing condolences and sympathy to Ukrainians and promising to help with recovery, to preventing loss of life and destruction of the country".

However, this is not the reason I sense a darkening of the Finnish dream that brought me here six years ago.
