"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies" Read this excellent @wsj.com account of the business deals behind the "peace"negotiations www.wsj.com/world/russia...

This is the plan that would really lead to peace. But its implementation requires some courage: voxukraine.org/en/the-genui...

Great map of European soil -- so many different things to pick up on.

Ukraine should be part of this project.

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...

Latest piece out in @theatlantic.com . Trump's "peace" plan for Ukraine, which he at this very moment trying to force on the country with threats and intimidation, is grotesque. The US president is admitting what too many refused to admit, he wants Putin to win. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

It's strange to see defence stocks falling when Trump tries to impose capitulation on Ukraine. If Ukraine capitulates, the risk of war in Europe does not diminish, but increases.

TRIBUNE. Avoirs russes confisqués : comment l’Europe peut aider l’Ukraine Utiliser les actifs russes pour financer un «prêt de réparation» est une solution à la fois pragmatique et juste pour reconstruire l’Ukraine et assurer sa défense, plaide la professeure d’économie Olena Havrylchyk

In 2024, a million hectares of Ukraine’s forests and land burned. High temperatures, landmines, and shelling all contributed to the fires, but footage of Russian drones targeting firefighters has raised the question of war crimes.

“NATO scrambled jets, could have shot the drone down, but allowed it to fly over NATO territory for 5o minutes, escorted it back to Ukrainian air space—and giving it another chance to kill Ukrainians (courtesy of NATO).”

Welcome to Paris!

Historic selfie. Ukraine’s government leadership always visit the sites of Russia’s drone and missile attacks. Today Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko just had to walk down the hall. This is the cabinet of ministers building in central Kyiv after the biggest Russian drone attack of the war.

Blood red carpet. By Mykhailo Dunakovskiy.

Map of Russia’s targeted bombing of Kyiv last night. Shocking to see like this. According to the Ukrainian Air Forces Russia sent: - 397 Shahed-type attack UAVs and simulated drones of various types - 8 Iskander-M ballistic missiles - 6 X-101 cruise missiles - 4 S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles

Russian invasion has lowered Ukrainian students' performance in PISA by 23 points in reading and 9 points in science. Most likely mechanism : psychological stress. There is strong impact of air-raids if they happen on the night before the national exam, but negligible impact in the long-term.

Kyiv School of Economics began in the ‘90s with one executive business degree geared toward professionals who wanted to go abroad, and has since grown to 1,500 students across 17 programs — up from 177 students and six programs before the start of the full-scale invasion.

This daily diary is amazing. @adamprz.bsky.social is a scholar of democracy and he started keeping a diary on 11 of February to document Trump's actions and to reflect about them in real time. This is his motivation in his own words

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

oh there was definitely a referendum in southern Ukraine in 2022. my family voted on whether they wanted to get shot on the spot or not

The video is in Russian, but indeed what she describes is a forced adoption of a 4-year old child from the region occupied by Russian forces.

I'm reposting this especially for the generation who was not yet of age in 2014 and might reasonably be wondering how we became so untethered from empirical reality.

J'ai lu ce texte les larmes aux yeux. Je suis aussi rongée par ce ver de culpabilité.
