My hometown of #Kyiv today is beautiful as ever. I say this naturally as a proud sixth-generation Kyivan (from my mother's side), taking a Sunday stroll around #Andriivskyi descent. While the oligarchs continue to flee the country on their private jets, thereby putting their ...

Merci à @LEXPRESS pour cet entretien. Nous y discutons des défis politiques, économiques et institutionnels auxquels l’Ukraine est confrontée, et de ce qui devra changer pour assurer sa résilience à long terme.

[L'Express @LEXPRESS]

🇺🇦 Selon @arodnyansky, l’Ukraine est non seulement menacée sur le front, mais aussi par ses propres faiblesses internes. Lesquelles pourraient finir par faire le jeu du Kremlin… ➡️ https://t.co/aAZL0JlP6r

In some of my closed-door conversations with Europeans, a harder logic is increasingly dominant: Their support for Ukraine is no longer primarily about solidarity with a fellow democracy. It’s about buying time for themselves. By @arodnyansky

Is Europe treating Ukraine as a partner, or merely as a buffer? Read my latest column in the @WSJ to find out.

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

Europe’s policy toward Ukraine is becoming more candid in private even as it grows more guarded in public. Europe should admit that self-preservation is now a central motive of its support, writes @arodnyansky

Security Update 🎧 Zum Jahrestag der russischen Invasion spreche ich mit Ex-Selenskyj-Berater @arodnyansky über Sanktionen, Wiederaufbau und Hoffnung. Auch: Ungarns Widerstand gegen den EU-Sanktionskurs – und warum er vor allem symbolisch ist. https://t.co/tmfjkyCwcS

‘Russia doesn’t seem near breaking point at all.’

Ex-Zelenskyy adviser @arodnyansky explains why the prospect of peace for Ukraine is ‘fragile’.

The Energoatom scandal has become a test of whether Ukraine’s leadership can reform, or if it has turned into “one of the Kremlin’s most valuable assets”, writes Alexander Rodnyansky https://t.co/iI3jX3AxOQ

Corruption scandal "has become a test of whether Ukraine’s leadership can reform the system it built, or if that system has turned into one of the Kremlin’s most valuable assets," writes former Zelenskyy's advisor @arodnyansky https://t.co/VUyoi77oJG

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

A proposed peace plan “could amount to managed capitulation for Ukraine”, argues Alexander Rodnyansky in a guest essay. “Just as worrying is the state of the government expected to sign it” https://t.co/aU5XGDi2d0

[Alexander Rodnyansky @arodnyansky]

Thrilled to share my column in @TheEconomist, where I argue that for #Ukraine to succeed in war and peace, it must fundamentally transform how it is governed:

A wartime #corruption scandal in #Ukraine has exposed a network of officials whose hollowed-out institutions, personalized power, and economic mismanagement are making a Russian victory more likely:

Trump calls US “security guarantees” a major step, but Europe demands a ceasefire first, Russia keeps advancing, and the details remain vague.

Talks Without Teeth: Russia Buys Time, Ukraine Bleeds

finformant view

The day produced headlines, not solutions. This was a big PR stunt, and not a triumph for Zelenskyy, who did not want to agree to give up any territory, especially unoccupied areas.

'You can't negotiate anything if, at the same time, people are being killed.'

@ARodnyansky, a former adviser to Zelenskyy, discusses Trump's claim that a ceasefire will not be necessary for agreeing a peace deal.

After Alaska, #Trump drops his ceasefire demand and echoes Putin's "deal first" line; no new US sanctions. White House talks today weigh a Donetsk-for-freeze framework and security guarantees—stakes for #Ukraine and #Europe are high!

What do you think: will sanctions force a real breakthrough, or are we just spinning our wheels? ⬇️

With peace talks in Alaska looming, this article warns: secondary tariffs and shipping bans won’t sway Putin. But will anything short of his departure really change the game?

Alaska Gambit: Trump's Backchannel, Putin's Push

Putin heads to an Alaska summit as Washington's Friday cease-fire ultimatum looms.

[Alexander Rodnyansky @arodnyansky]

As long as Putin remains alive and in power, he’ll never negotiate in good faith or accept true Ukrainian independence—and all this theater in Alaska won’t change that.
