In this lecture & at @FESonline event ahead of #URC2024 I raised vital issues: UA needs a new social contract, human & nature centered recovery, exercise of Constitutional rights & guarantees inc ownership of land & natural resources by the UA people, not foreigner entities.
Building on historicized political economy of wartime Ukraine since 2014, @YPYurchenko's lecture illustrated that the state as an institution must be redefined.

Yeah, let's blame historic "Russophobia" of the British Empire for ruz.zia doing genocide in Ukraine.
May I remind everyone that Sachs is a professor at the Columbia University, NY. The state of it.
Also the shock therapy he thinks was bad for ru he personally designed.
Last year, #renewables supplied 85.6% of all new global power generation capacity. #Solar capacity grew by 510GW and #wind by 159GW, against just 1.5GW for new #nuclear. Thatโs a 462:1 ratio.
Put aside capacity, for actual annual electricity generation output, this means last year, new wind and solar supplied 104 times more usable power than new nuclear.
You can't negotiate with s/o who sees NATO as a single decision-making point entity & not an alliance where many sovereign country members are seeking protection from ruz.zia.
pu seize the world like he sees ru - borderless. Post-WWII world order means nothing for him.
๐จ Putin plans to use Ukraine peace talks to push NATO back to its 1997 military posture
According to The Telegraph, the Kremlin wants to force NATO to scale back its military presence in Europe to levels seen before Eastern European countries joined the Alliance.
This could mean demanding the withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, the Baltic states, and Finland.
That is why Moscow is pushing for European countries to participate in negotiations over Ukraine. Diplomatic sources cited by The Telegraph say Putin wants to turn talks about ending the war into negotiations over the entire European security architecture.
The issue may also have been discussed during Putin's three-hour meeting with Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in St. Petersburg.
However, European countries have previously rejected the Kremlin's demands to reduce NATO's military presence on its eastern flank.

If you keep appeasing psychopaths & treat their unhinged claims as if they are legitimate, instead of punishing this rhetoric & threats harsh and outright, you're going to get such demands. Congratulations.
โก๏ธ Russia aims to use Ukraine peace negotiations to push NATO back to its 1997 borders, according to The Telegraph.
Diplomatic sources say Moscow wants European nations at the table to demand NATO clear out troops and equipment from countries along Russia's border.
@irgarner@etubruton That's if "rational" = "money saver" which is an extremely limited way to understand rationality. If one is to accept that you work to live happily which also adds to better health, adventure investment is the most rational thing you can do ie holiday spending is very rational.
Vuฤiฤ falls! Solidarity to those fighting for democracy in Serbia.
Essential to democracy:
Support for Ukraine against Russia
Recognition of Kosovo's independence
200 people demonstrated at the US embassy in Stockholm yesterday. A coalition of campaign groups including our Swedish comrades in @EuropeanWith; and great also to hear of support for Swedish public-sector union Kommunal!
We celebrate Lula's re-election not because Lula is a friend of Ukraine - he clearly isn't - but as a victory against the far right, against authoritarianism and against Trump.

The Rada is also considering a deeply anti-worker and anti-union new Labour Code.
Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump is responsible.
Hint, they both are!
โก๏ธUS lawmakers demand answers from Elon Musk over Ukraine Starlink restrictions.
In a public letter, Democratic Senators and Representatives listed five questions concerning Starlink restrictions impacting Ukrainian forces, addressed to Musk. The lawmakers gave Musk until October 31 to answer their questions.
