Thank you so much @granthaver and @zweinberg for having me on Next in Foreign Policy to talk about the escalating food security crisis. 345m people face acute food insecurity - an unprecedented crisis that requires urgent short term action and long term food system transformation

[The DSR Network @thedsrnetwork]

Check out our new episode of Next in Foreign Policy featuring @granthaver and @zweinberg talking with @ErnstIzzy about the World Food Programme and the fight against hunger. Listen here: https://t.co/C7Vv1btY62

Great debate on the #globalEcon as part of the #SpringMeetings yesterday - a frank discussion about obligations and shortcomings of the int. community. Things are bleak but these women sure know how to lead. @KGeorgieva @Lagarde @miaamormottley

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Thank you, @miaamormottley, @Lagarde, Jerome Powell, and Sri Mulyani, for the powerful & thought-provoking conversation today! And thanks, as always, to @SaraEisen for moderating our debate on #GlobalEcon. [2/2]

THREAD from Bucha.

We met Mykola. He and his wife spent a month living in the cellar of his apartment building. When the Russians arrived, they killed all the men below 50. He’s 53. He told us this shaking with the trauma of it. They gave him 20 minutes to bury his friends.

Just watch this video. Just watch.

Russia & Ukraine account for 50% of wheat supply in Yemen & Lebanon. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will intensify the global food crisis. The overall suffering Putin's madness is causing is truly incomprehensible. https://t.co/EGyfoLyqTa via @AJEnglish

Geflüchtete aus der #Ukraine erhalten vorübergehenden Schutz in der EU für ein Jahr, der verlängerbar ist auf bis zu drei Jahre. Auch Menschen aus Drittstaaten, die in der Ukraine mit einem gesicherten Aufenthaltsstatus gelebt haben, brauchen kein Asylverfahren zu durchlaufen.

Kyiv TV tower, which has just been hit by a Russian missile, is situated on the territory of Babyn Yar. On September 29-30, 1941, Nazis killed over 33 thousand Jews here. 80 years later, Russian Nazis strike this same land to exterminate Ukrainians. Evil and barbaric.

[Johnny Mercer @JohnnyMercerUK]

No expert, but the invasion doesn’t seem to be going particularly well.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

So it seems Zelensky convinced the EU to impose greater sanctions and help Ukraine in a way it was otherwise not going to do. https://t.co/TBgBNQ5lqQ

⚡️Germany allows supplying weapons to Ukraine in a major turnaround.

The country has authorized the Netherlands to send Ukraine 400 rocket-propelled grenade launchers produced in Germany.

[Tina Hassel @TinaHassel]

Exklusiv: Regierungskreise bestätigen mir, dass Deutschland Lieferung vom 400 #Panzerfäusten über Drittland an #Ukraine vorbereitet. #Kanzler hat grünes Licht gegeben, Bislang hat #Scholz Lieferung tödlicher Waffen ausgeschlossen #Putin

[Izzy Ernst @ErnstIzzy]

Wann ändern wir endlich unseren Kurs @Bundeskanzler?! Eine weitere Blockade des #SWIFTban ist unverzeihlich und zerstört unsere Glaubhaftigkeit. #PutinsWar #UkraineUnderAttack

[Enrico Letta @EnricoLetta]

Mario Draghi confirmed 🇮🇹 will support banning Russia from #SWIFT.

[Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand]

Western officials have offered to help Zelensky evacuate Kyiv, and have been examining whether Zelensky could form a government in exile if he were to flee, sources tell CNN. Zelensky has rebuffed those offers, however, saying he needs more weapons—not a lift out of Ukraine.

[Eddie Fishman @edwardfishman]

As Russian forces move on Kyiv, it's time to get serious about ratcheting sanctions up a notch. The US and Europe have ample room for escalation. A few thoughts on the option set (🧵):

AP: The European Union has agreed to freeze the assets of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, according to Latvia's foreign minister

@PentagonPresSec @berdynskykh_k Here's the video of Zelensky's moving speech. Even if you don't speak Ukrainian or Russian it's worth watching.

"When women do things that break the norm, we call them exceptional. When men break the norm we call them leaders" Still deeply touched by this talk with @gaylelemmon and @juliettekayyem @harvardiop Highly recommend a listen and read:
