Vladimir Putin will never forgive Volodymyr Zelenskiy for making him look old (Admire Volodymyr Zelenskiy all you like. But please don’t treat him as a heart-throb, 8 March). Putin aped the tough-guy look with his photo ops (bare-chested horse riding etc), whereas Zelenskiy has looked the part without even trying. Furthermore, Zelenskiy has displayed passion, an overused word lately, but apt here, whereas Putin can only achieve a cold dispassion, fed by vanity.

• After the delights of Wordsearch puzzles that assume all authors, professionals and politicians are male, in your print edition on Monday we had diets as the theme. In vain did I look for words like nutrition, vitamins, diabetic and vegetarian. Every answer, with the possible exception of fibre, was to do with (female) reducing diets. Time for a few female compilers, I think.

• Your photo (Phasing out Russian oil: how UK consumers can help the war effort, 11 March) shows a thermostat being turned down from 24 degrees. Who, I scream, even before this last fortnight, has their heating so high?

• What to do about Chelsea FC (Report, 10 March)? There is no problem. Give it to the fans, where it should have been all the time.
