E mentre i criminali di guerra russi attaccano edifici residenziali a Kyiv e la nostra pacifeccia intona l'articolo 11 (altro marcatore inconfondibile), ci tocca anche leggere le abituali cazzullate sul bon ton, che tradiscono problemi di comprensione del testo. www.corriere.it/lodicoalcorr...

While the world prepares for the Christmas holidays, russia is attacking Ukraine with cruise missiles and drones. This is the real face of russian “peace deal”. russia is a terrorist state. #Ukrainianview #russiaIsATerroristState

Domestic firm-to-firm transaction data & customs records show Italy's exposure to external risks, such as US tariffs and a sudden stop of Chinese supplies, is far larger than standard trade stats suggest. @fpconteduca.bsky.social @fabrizioleone.bsky.social et al cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Witkoff-Dmitriev plan RE #Ukraine is wrong & it'd be crazy to start negotiations w an extreme RUS position. @tderyugina.bsky.social @ilonasolohub.bsky.social, Anastassia Fedyk, James Hodson & I have a counter-proposal that would give genuine peace. Our 28 points vs RUS 28 points. #UkrainianView

I told CNN I’m optimistic about peace talks because Russia is keeping quiet and Trump’s shifts create openings. Also, remember the U.S.–Ukraine minerals. First, it was draconian, but then became workable. This case is of course harder 1/

Russian philosopher Dugin on Ukraine.Russia doesn't hide its true intentions "Ukraine will be ours entirely within a maximum of two years.Possibly much sooner.There will be no sovereignty left there at all,since Ukrainians are absolutely incapable of using it.They never have been and never will be⤵️

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who perished during the Holodomor — the genocide orchestrated by the USSR in 1932–1933 to crush resistance to the communist regime and to erase Ukrainians as an independent nation. 1/9

It is a sad mix of naked opportunism and strategic myopia

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous. (video) snyder.substack.com/p/the-putin-...

Putin is a war criminal

Multiple waves of russian drones encircle Kyiv, with Kinzhals and cruise missiles aiming to cripple Ukraine's energy system right now. russia commits a crime against humanity aiming to freeze the entire Ukrainian nation into capitulation — that's "peace" brought by red carpet summits.

russian сrimеs against Ukrainians continue every single day. Do not get used to it. Do not look away. Do not stay silent.

They just hit a university

This is becoming so normalized, I did not even wake up the second time there was an air alert. 100s of drones, missiles, with loud explosions & house shaking, reading about the destruction & deaths in the morning - several times a week #UkrainianView

A new PS piece with @ilonasolohub.bsky.social and @matsmarcusson.bsky.social 2 options: 1) RUS defeat (means more sanctions & more weapons for UKR). 2) a defeat for democracy (&subdued Europe). If 1), Europeans should sacrifice some of their welfare. If 2), they'll lose it all. #UkrainianView

Never-ending 9/11

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.

A tale of two vibes.

It’s literally how it feels to me #Ukrainianview

6/ Putin's reported proposal reportedly demands that Ukraine concede this critical defensive position, which Russian forces currently have no means of rapidly enveloping or penetrating, apparently in exchange for nothing. More in tonight's assessment: isw.pub/UkrWar080825

Trump welcomes a war criminal on US soil #UkrainianView

#UkrainianView Hello, #MAGA , how are you? So, it is the first time I see Americans crawling on their knees before russians. Has America become great again, or the most interesting things are yet to come?..

Trump is not hammering Russia with these tariffs on India. They don’t start for 21 days (if at all) and China buys more Russian oil than India. This is typical Trump. Pretend to be tough on Russia, but not really

The situation with Russians killing a toddler with a drone is especially despicable when you realize this wasn’t a stray artillery shell that landed 50 meters off, or a Shahed drone that hit a tall building, but an FPV drone, guided in real time by an operator watching it live

Another terrifying night in Ukraine

This is what a city with over a thousand years of history, the capital of the largest European country, looks like when your neighbor is the terrorist state russia. #UkrainianView

Segnaliamo a Elly Schlein che cantare “Bella ciao” a Budapest è cosa buona e giusta, ma il luogo naturale dove andare a intonare quel canto è l’Ucraina. Parlando di invasori, in caso il concetto fosse troppo criptico.

Does handing out Russian passports make a territory Russian? No, it doesn’t — and Yulia Navalnaya should know that.

This looks like a must-read! "The State of Globalisation" edited by Richard Baldwin and Michele Ruta. cepr.org/publications...

I don’t have an inside joke or sardonic quip or anything of the sort. All I’ve got is a gift link. Please read the story and watch the video. Thugs ostensibly working for the federal government are arresting elected officials for insisting on due process.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce the main themes of Russian disinformation on TikTok. Each day, there are thousands of new videos promoting pro-Kremlin narratives and propaganda. It’s worth noting that Russians can only access European TikTok via VPN. 1/10

So the President of the USA is reduced to being a messenger boy for the Russian dictator and begging for help. Please Vladimir, be nice…. How long until the next time some people start wondering when Trump will be hard on Russia. This is pathetic.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war. Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes. Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.

❗️The United Nations' aviation council ruled that Russia was responsible for downing of the Malaysian Airlines flight over Ukraine, which killed all of the nearly 300 people on board in 2014. The majority of passengers and crew, 196 people, were from the Netherlands.

Even with partial suspensions, the US #tariffs are set to trigger sharp contractions in #trade, significant welfare losses (especially for the US), and major disruptions to global supply chains. @fpconteduca.bsky.social, Michele Mancini, Alessandro Borin cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Ale Cunat and @zymek.bsky.social show how to correctly compute asymmetric trade barriers in the Review of Economic Studies. One can use their model to explain why Trump's tariffs do not eliminate aggregate imbalances, even if they may reshuffle bilateral ones. academic.oup.com/restud/artic...

1/4. Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own.

🧵 Musk che chiama traditore il senatore Kelly per essere stato in Ucraina è una rappresentazione inequivocabile del salto del fosso dell'amministrazione Trump. Chi empatizza con la vittima dell'invasione è adesso un traditore. Perché l'unico alleato, adesso, è la Russia. 1/8
