Keep Calm and Carry On

London. A meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer.

During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees.

A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision: today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a Loan Agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets. The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine. This is true justice – the one who started the war must be the one to pay.

I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such strategic partners and to share the same vision of what a secure future should look like for all.

🇺🇦🇬🇧

I can scarcely believe what I’m watching. Just a horrifying disgrace.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is no way to treat the leader of a country being pummelled by Russia. It’s quite upsetting. Trump and Vance gang up on Zelensky. No way for leaders to behave. Trying to intimidate Zelensky. Vance attacks Z then accuses him of disrespect because he answers back.

We interviewed James C Scott - on the sinister intent of Prussian Forestry and the wonder of Malaysian mango trees 😎just before he died. He was sharp, and profound as ever on the risks of knowledge. Everyone who knew him and read him will miss him so much https://t.co/9BFa6c9bSR

Wow! What a great first day of Writing Across Boundaries thinking about the norms, forms, trials and tribulations of ethnographic writing with my brilliant colleagues including @skylerehawkins @MikeCrawley @s_winkler_reid and hearing about so many inspiring PhDs.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator. He died in unyielding defense of his vision of a better future for his country - a vision, and a courageous example, that will never die.
