Ett år av sorg och fortfarande pendlar både länder och människor mellan olika faser av att greppa den dramatiska förvandlingen framför allas ögon: timbro.se/smedjan/sorgen… (från mars 2025) och de som till trots hävdar att det som sker eg inte är något nytt sorterar under fas ett: förnekelse.
❗️Yale Humanitarian Lab har sedan 2022 bedrivit ett kritiskt arbete m att dokumentera de tusentals bortförda ukrainska barnen, nu behövs ny kontaktpunkt/plattform för att fortsätta arbetet.

Interesting from Kallas: "India's participation in Russia's military exercises and its purchase of Russian oil stand in the way of closer ties. Because, ultimately, our partnership is not only about trade, but also about defending rules-based international order"

Started this week
@efntv.bsky.social with
@rikardwest at Centre for Statecraft and Strategic Communication. Topic: Ongoing Ukraine talks. One main point: Ukraine and Europe’s needs, interests and narrative should be the centre of any talk on Ukraine’s future efn.se/play/europas...
As Sweden hosts trade talks between the U.S. and China, we should seize the opportunity to state clearly that meaningful trade depends on peace and freedom—not just for the sake of markets, but for people and for Europe.
❗️New report from SFWF and @nordicukraine.bsky.social out. The scope of deportations, what is known at this moment as well as recommended actions from Europe: frivarld.se/nyheter/new-...
A lot of good things are happening in Europe: the EU is implementing more sanctions (I won a bet on this) and Ukraine is being integrated into the European defence industrial and technological base.

From DC earlier this week, met a single couragous soul who was visibly demonstrating outside of the White House. For the sake of Ukraine. Waiting to see more of the U.S that stands up for that which is, and just a few weeks ago even in the U.S was, the right thing 🇺🇦🇪🇺
