The Ukrainian people, backed resolutely by the United States and other nations, have held firm. Russia believed that it could accomplish these objectives swiftly and efficiently.īut Russia did not account for the strength of the Ukrainian military and the Ukrainian people, or the amount or effectiveness of military assistance provided by the United States and its allies and partners. When Russia started this war, its initial aims were to seize the capital of Kyiv, replace the Zelenskyy government, and take control of much - if not all - of Ukraine. Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine more than a month ago. Today, I’d like to take a step back and talk about where we are and where we think we are going. We are also working intensively with our European allies on further sanctions to raise the pressure and raise the cost on Putin and on Russia.

And as the President said, we will work with the world to ensure there is full accountability for these crimes. We had already concluded that Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, and the information from Bucha appears to show further evidence of war crimes. And as the horrific images that have emerged from Bucha have shown, that’s exactly what they have done. We released information even before Russia’s invasion showing that Russia would engage in acts of brutality against civilians, included it tar- including targeted killings of dissidents and others they deemed a threat to their occupation. The images that we see are tragic, they’re shocking, but unfortunately, they’re not surprising. With apologies to Jen and to you, my remarks are not going to be so brief because I have a number of points I want to get through before opening it to questions.įirst, you heard the President today condemn in powerful terms the atrocities committed by Russian forces retreating from Bucha and other towns in Ukraine. And then we will do a briefing from there. We have a return guest: Jake Sullivan, our National Security Advisor, who will give some brief remarks, take some questions.

#LETTERPRESS TRAY PORTABLE#
The Portable Antiquities Scheme is an initiative to encourage the recording of archaeological objects found by members of the public in England and Wales. For more on this item, see or search for WMID-109741 on the PAS database. The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) has recorded several similar finds, including plate fragments inscribed with prose fiction (DENO-C4F053 and, possibly, WMID-FE36B8), Welsh text (WREX-DA1FBD), travel or ticket information (WILT-9DDA4D), and modern romance literature (NLM-1F9FA3). The surviving words offer guidance for ‘inland letters’ and ‘inland parcel post’. This has rendered many of the words difficult to decipher, but it is clear that the item was produced to print information about postal weights and related charges. There are patches of iron corrosion on the reverse of the plate (which is undecorated), and the main text is worn and fragmented in places. All this is inscribed in retrograde, so that the text would be the right way round when printed, in a font similar to Times New Roman. This example is complete, preserving several lines of text: a central title followed by four justified paragraphs (that is, with straight margins on both sides). Rectangular plates like this were used in printing until the second half of the 20th century. It is made from copper alloy, and – measuring 6.24cm by 4cm by 0.48cm – it weighs just over 100g. This 19th-century letterpress printing plate was found by a metal-detectorist, on cultivated land in Warwickshire, last summer. IMAGE: Birmingham Museums Trust/CC BY 2.0.
