Witkoff uncritically repeated several inaccurate Russian claims regarding the status of the Ukrainian territories that Russia illegally occupies. ⬇️(1/3)
1/ The Russian invasions of Ukraine have never been about protecting Russian speakers. Witkoff claimed during the March 21 interview that Russian-occupied Crimea, Donbas, and Kherson and Zaporizhia oblasts are "Russian-speaking" and that "there have been referendums [in these regions] where the overwhelming majority of people have indicated that they want to be under Russian rule."
Russia has long used similar claims to justify its unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, having used the claim that Russia needs to "protect Russian-speakers" in eastern Ukraine to justify the launch of its full-scale invasion in 2022.
Russia has routinely undermined its own myth of "protecting Russian speakers" in Ukraine, however, destroying predominantly Russian-speaking cities in eastern Ukraine, killing Russian-speaking Ukrainians, and deporting Russian-speaking Ukrainian children to Russia in violation of international law.
Putin is spending $140bn while we struggle to promise fifty. We are basically sending him the message "We won't stop you", so he won't stop.
But if we allocated $800bn, he would be forced to rethink. Yes, we could afford it. And yes, it would be cheaper than letting him carry on.
7 Tage lang hab ich mit Ukrainerinnen & Ukrainern gesprochen. Ihre Geschichten bewegen mich. Ihr Engagement beeindruckt mich tief.
Ich habe mich gefragt, was wir im Westen tun können, und alle Erfahrungen aufgeschrieben.
Hier mein Resümee im Standard👇 https://t.co/tvzlOHYOAp
Being here in Lviv, waiting in the basement at 5 AM for the last drones to detonate, gives me a glimpse of how Putin’s brutal war affects people in this country.
Honestly, I feel intimidated and so much respect for the people in Ukraine defending Europe in many ways.
Here in #Ukraine 🇺🇦, only 500 km east of Vienna,
… #NewYear took place without fireworks + nobody outside 12 to 5 AM
… air alert rang in the evening, drones detonated in early morning
… a soldier in my age joined tonight’s party in his uniform, going back to frontline today
--> Security and Cooperation in a Fractured World.
"...And while Ukraine’s economy fell by almost 30% in 2022, following Russia’s invasion, this past year it grew by over 5%, Zelenskyy told participants in his special address. "

My new Safe Skies fundraiser aims to spread the drone-detection system throughout the entire country. Millions of people would be shielded. Thousands of lives can be saved. 10/

Old life be like: starry sky, sunsets, sunrises, being happy to see an airplane in the sky and dream of traveling.

@DavidSacks How important is it to acknowledge that the frontline includes physical areas, but as long as the online exists, it is not limited to them? Thus, confronting fear, some are scared to go to the physical frontline. But as from my knowledge, everyone is fighting as he/she can.
Kyiv talk by @TimothyDSnyder - almost 2 hours of deep conversation in Kyiv about freedom, values, and war. Glad to invite Timothy to @PenUkraine and @ukraine_world gathering with so many good people in the audience

It’s interesting that to appeal to the Russian public it actually helps to portray the war as what it really is, a colonial war. No attempt to disguise it as being about Nato or Russian security, which is what Kremlin uses for idiots abroad
Congratulations to Dan Rice 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 for being inaugurated as the President of the American University Kyiv. Thank You for contributing to Ukraine's resistance and victory!
