UK Prime Minster Boris Johnson has been confronted by a Ukrainian journalist's emotional demand that Britain and its Nato allies enforce a no-fly zone to protect citizens from Russia’s bombs.

Mr Johnson was speaking at a press conference at the British embassy in Warsaw on Tuesday where he demanded an end to the conflict in Ukraine, calling it a “colossal mistake” by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Daria Kaleniuk, executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Centre civil society organisation, told the prime minister that she was from Kiev but had crossed the border in recent days.

Ms Kaleniuk became visibly upset as she described the “deep fear” her compatriots have of Russian missiles which are killing women and children across the country.

She also said Nato's reluctance to set up a no-fly zone was misguided because a Third World War “had already started.”

“Ukrainian women and Ukrainian children are in deep fear because of bombs and missiles which are going from the sky”, she told the prime minister. “Ukrainian people are desperately asking for the rights to protect our sky, we are asking for a no-fly zone".

“Nato is not willing to defend because Nato is afraid of World War Three but it’s already started and it’s Ukrainian children who are there taking the hit.

“You are talking about more sanctions prime minister but [Russian oligarch] Roman Abramovich is not sanctioned, he’s in London, his children are not in the bombardments, his children are there in London.”

Mr Johnson said he welcomed her passionate question and was “glad” she had made it to Poland, saying he was “acutely conscious that there is not enough we can do as the UK Government to help in the way that you want”.

Mr Johnson was also asked how he felt as a father when he saw the images of dying Ukrainian children.

Mr Johnson replied: “I think I felt what everybody in the world felt looking at that, that this is absolutely senseless.

“I think Vladimir Putin is a father himself, and no one can possibly understand how he has unleashed this conflict which seems to everybody to be so futile.

“Everybody can see that the Ukrainians are resisting.”

The prime minister said the imposition of a no-fly zone could result in direct conflict with Russian fighter jets, adding that the consequences of such a move “would be truly very, very difficult to control.”

Speaking after she made her plea, Ms Kaleniuk told reporters: “My message is that the suffering of people in Ukraine is unbelievable now.”

“My call to the West is protect our sky,” she said.

She said Ukrainians were “taking guns with zero protection” to “fight the evil” of Russian troops.

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Florida: The critical Sunshine State

Though mostly conservative, Florida is usually always “close” in presidential elections. In most elections, the candidate that wins the Sunshine State almost always wins the election, as evidenced in 2016 when Trump took Florida, a state which has not had a democratic governor since 1991. 

Joe Biden’s campaign has spent $100 million there to turn things around, understandable given the state’s crucial 29 electoral votes.

In 2016, Mr Trump’s democratic rival Hillary Clinton paid frequent visits to Florida though analysts concluded that she failed to appeal towards middle-class voters, whom Barack Obama won over in the previous election.

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.

It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.

There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.

In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.

In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.
