Congrats to these deserving fellows! Reading the applications reminded me of the major challenges Ukrainians face every day. And still they persevere.

Have been on a ... different platform at https://t.co/lYM3qvVVFl for a while. Going to spend some more time there now and see what happens. Will still be posting about #Ukraine, #Kharkiv, Soviet history, and European politics.

Last night, Kharkiv didn’t sleep – it endured. Russian bombs tore through civilian spaces, reducing homes to debris and injuring 13 innocent lives.

The world owes more than sympathy, it owes action.

Russian avia bomb hit Derzhprom in the centre of Kharkiv. It is one of the most outstanding architectural sites of constructivist art from 1920’s, the first Soviet skyscraper. On a UNESCO preliminary list.

[Dr. Viktoriia_Grivina @brams884]

I feel such a deep pure horror, it's unbearable. It's the building I love the most in this effin world. For every Kharkiv local it's the symbol of freedom and ingenuity.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

I am back in Ukraine and the mood is pitch black. Ukraine feels betrayed.

"Failing that, the West will have years to repent the betrayal of the courageous Ukrainians, whose only crime was their wish to join the Western democratic order" 1/

Great profile of Serhiy Zhadan, Ukraine's poet, rock star, novelist, most famous Kharkivite, and now soldier. #zhadan #Kharkiv

🤦‍♂️ Please stop. No more “thoughts and prayers”. Constantly saying that we stand with Ukraine while actually only standing there is ruining all of the good will and trust we‘d earned in the early days.

Proud to sign this letter to @guardian debunking the illogical idea that Ukraine's membership in NATO would "provoke" Russia, which is already set on destroying Ukraine. https://t.co/SKwiYv3r8w

Looks like an incredibly useful tool to track Ukraine's EU reforms, helped along by Kyiv School of Economics.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

It is impossible but Ukraine is doing hundreds of reforms during the war. As a part of integration with the EU.

We at the Kyiv school of Economics are proud to help the government set up the reform matrix monitoring tool

The Brussels-Lux Study Tour (@esc_pitt) is a fantastic opportunity for teachers to learn about the EU. Proud that @eucenter can sponsor 3 educators in 2024. https://t.co/Ny00gGBit7

@BlackerUilleam @BritishAcademy_ @UCLSSEES @UCLResearch @globalrhizome Sounds like an incredible project. Would love to be in touch about it. Congrats, Uilleam!

It's wonderful that so many people have engaged with this thread and expressed support for Ukraine and disgust at the consequences of Russia's unprovoked war against the country. Bakhmut is a place near and dear to me, obviously. Not I, nor my friends from the city ever thought it would be known to the world as it is now – a battlefield, a graveyard, a ruined shell of its former self. Especially after it survived Nazi occupation in WW2. And everyone I know would be pleased to have it go back to being a largely unknown city if it meant it were intact, at peace and free of Russian forces.

If you want to know more about Bakhmut before the war and during, I reported and wrote extensively about the city and the surrounding Donbas region in my book, The War Came To Us: Life And Death In Ukraine. https://t.co/in5T9cDloO

Every day of delay in supplying air defense results in lives lost needlessly.

[UNITED24 Media @United24media]

Kharkiv is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Ukraine, and we hate to see the impact of Russian war crimes on it.

@Supernetworks @steven_seegel @20DaysMariupol @AmherstCollege U of I next on April 1 thanks to @REEEC_UIUC & @eucenter. Will also be my second time after @proflauradean screened it at @MillikinU. It is a profoundly evocative, distressing piece of film-making. #20daysmariupol
