This must-read will make you re-think the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Esp those who identify as "anti-war" should read it. For most Ukrainians, what matters more is not when the war ends but how, many have adapted to the realization that the end is not in sight www.eurozine.com/the-new-abno...
The War? Getting Better and Better, Say Kremlin Mouthpieces
The words used by the Kremlin’s talking heads are at odds with their gloomy facial expressions — and reality.

The Trump admin has abandoned Ukraine. It hasn't actively put its lot with Ru's war effort. Does Rubio want to be congratulated for it? Or are they considering jumping in on Ru's side? Either way, the admin's Ukraine policy is shameful from a moral standpoint and the opposite of what Americans want.
In Feb 2022, those who took Western intelligence reports seriously wondered who the Ru-installed puppet would be. @oxanashevel.bsky.social and I predicted Ukrainians would fight hard and a puppet couldn't rule, Ru would have to try to achieve full occupation: www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukr...
Disastrous naivite. You either do security with Ru or against Ru. You can't have it both ways. The first way failed miserably as early as 2008. Clinging on to the idea that seeking Pu's agreement would lead to anything but Ru paralyzing/controlling Ukraine is delusional.
"Everyone breathed in dust and wiped condensation dripping from the ceiling off their faces. They were forced to sit constantly. Legs became swollen from immobility. Skin cracked and began to rot. They slept sitting down. They died sitting down."--Angelina Kariakina and Hanna Mamonova
Spot on. "Meetings happen, but the fundamental problem remains: Russia’s objective is not land, but the destruction of Ukraine. [..]The dark truth remains. Nothing could be more dangerous than any kind of victory for Putin or defeat for Ukraine." www.policymagazine.ca/in-ukraine-t...
If you watch only one thing today.
This is it.
As some who studied @ZelenskyyUa speeches. This one is back to basics. We, the people, together united are what makes Ukraine strong.
Shoring up that state centered civic duty.

On the one hand, the Trump administration is telling Europeans to take care of their own defense. On the other hand, they are supporting leaders and parties who are pro-Russian, opposed to European unity and don't want Europe to defend Ukraine or anything else.
Which is the policy?
🎙️Today I spoke to BBC Radio Scotland's Lunchtime Live programme about some of the things that we have learned during the past four years since #Russia's mass invasion of #Ukraine. The segment begins 1 hour and 12 minutes into the recording

Shows you how much Ukraine has achieved with the moderate, cautious help of its allies. It has thwarted russia's plans, in the process defending Europe and the international order.
The most honest thing I can admit now is that I no longer know how this ends. Four years ago we believed in weeks, in seasons, in turning points. We were wrong — not only about the length, but about what this would become. War has settled into the structure of life itself.
My thoughts on the 12 years of Russia’s genocidal war.
Also, I want to thank everyone who has stood by Ukraine 💙💛
Slava Ukraini!!
Tomorrow, many of you will think of Ukraine.
As Ukraine faces pressure to accept capitulation, remember: there will be no peace without justice.
We owe justice to every innocent life taken by russia's war.
For every fallen defender. For every murdered civilian. For every atrocity committed.
Poem 'Epitaph on a tyrant' by WH Auden
W H Auden (1939) responding to the rise of fascism
The final couplet is brutal and brilliant
The juxtaposition of laughing & crying, his tears are not empathy but triggers of violence
Not naming the tyrants make this feel less like history, more like prophecy

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved

Proud that the whole @theglobeandmail.com team got recognized in today’s paper
"It’s not just about social media or our collective attention span. Ukrainians – who had sought for two decades to join the NATO military alliance but were never allowed in – feel more alone than ever. And they are."
The statement’s signers include a mix of denominational leaders, seminary presidents, scholars and leaders of prominent congregations.
SCOOP: Less than 1 month before Trump came out against a new bridge connecting Michigan with Canada, the billionaire owner of an existing bridge donated $1M to the Trump-backed super PAC, MAGA Inc.

Hours before peace talks in Geneva, virtually all of democratic Ukraine is under threat of attack by fascist Russia’s drones and missiles, yet Trump doesn’t criticize Kremlin dictator Putin - it’s “Ukraine better come to the table.”
America has fallen so very far, so very fast.
