To put things into perspective, Scotland spends just 0.5% of its budget on culture, while the average for European countries is 1.5%. Let that sink in.

There is a very moving plaque on the building where the Polish National Ballet School is located in Warsaw commemorating these brave airmen who died on their mission. Go and see it when you’re in Poland, not far from the National Theatre and Opera.

Send your reporters and do some actual on-the-ground reporting in Ukraine (not Berlin), and talk to some actual Ukrainians The New York Times
