As I explained in my latest video I have been invited to the marriage of two dear friends in Montenegro, where I am now. I was delighted to accept this generous invitation and in fact my entire family - Catherine and the children - have joined me.

In fact, Russia is intensifying its missile, drone and FAB-glide bomb strikes on Ukrainian positions across the country. I don’t know how much more “winning” Ukraine can endure.
