Maria Koinova, Warwick University: Europe does have a bias toward Ukrainians, saying: they look like us, they are Christians, they are celebrating Easter with us. It is about the self-reflection of #Europe. @IERES_GWU @BEAR_JMNetwork

[PONARS Eurasia @ponarseurasia]

Irina Busygina, Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg: Many at universities here have become "Budgetniki" - paid by the state. We have an island of top universities against an ocean of other/regional Russian universities.

Samuel Greene, King’s College London: I wonder whether or not we are experiencing a kind of regime change. Are we coming to a point of regime change in which the Kremlin no longer sees ambiguity as an asset? @samagreene @BEAR_JMNetwork @IERES_GWU

[PONARS Eurasia @ponarseurasia]

Marat Shterin, King’s College London: We use the term "geopolitics" a little bit irresponsibly as it has a colonial meaning.

Henry Hale: Kremlin rhetoric leading up to the invasion was about "Western hysteria." They had to construct an elaborate falsehood as they couldn't call it an "invasion" or a "war." They went to extreme propaganda lengths. @ElliottSchoolGW @IERES_GWU @BEAR_JMNetwork #PONARS
