One of my missions is to bring Ukrainian topics into global conversations and debates. To this end, I have already conducted dozens of podcast conversations with leading intellectuals from around the world on @ukraine_world , the English-language platform I lead. And I intend to develop this further.

A large part of this work is my podcast series Thinking in Dark Times. You can support it at https://t.co/HkYznDB6Bg

My latest guest was @FareedZakaria , a prominent Indian-born American intellectual and journalist, and one of CNN’s leading voices.

"The appointment of Stephen Miller as [Donald Trump's] new chief of staff might just ramp up the chance that he does something, but I think there will be huge pressure not to escalate in Iran."

Director @bronwenmaddox joined @fromTGA to discuss the US midterm results and whether they will impact Donald Trump's foreign policy, via @BBCr4today.

[Timothy Garton Ash @fromTGA]

Hungary… Serbia… and now the USA… the people reject the populists who pretend to rule in the name of the People.... but @realDonaldTrump could still be the most dangerous lame duck in history...

[Winternaut @StephanDeWinter]

Dit korte boekje over Europa van @fromTGA werd me door meerdere lezers aangeraden, — en terecht! Het bruist van voorbeelden, anekdotes en weetjes die véél tekenender zijn voor ons continent dan grote, brede geschiedschrijving kon doen. Aanrader voor alle Europa-liefhebbers!

It's a triumphant continuation of a now long tradition of Serbian student activism as I describe here…
