We stand with Ukraine, and with the brave Russians speaking out against Kremlin aggression.
“Tyrants can only rule amid fear and ignorance. But the night cannot last forever.” Hryhoriy Skovoroda (whose museum in Kharkiv was destroyed by a Russian missile)
“The prisoner’s worst nightmare is the thought of being forgotten,” — Kremlin critic & political prisoner @vkaramurza quotes @IrwinCotler in his courageous op-ed for @washingtonpost. The world will never forget until all political prisoners are free.

After several weeks on battleground he is back ❤️🔥 At last I stopped looking in telephone every 5 minutes checking if his connection resumed and he’s received a message. Praying for all those whose beloved are at the frontline ��🙏🙏
This morning, I met with Allies and partners to discuss our support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. We are committed to continuing our assistance and to imposing severe economic costs on Russia — and we reaffirmed our solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
"Before the invasion, Bucha was well known in Kyiv as a place to get away, to drop kids off at the summer camp for a couple of weeks," writes Simon Shuster (@shustry).
"Now Bucha is a byword for war crimes, like Srebrenica or My Lai"

As long as the war in the Ukraine is still ongoing, we need your support with humanitarian, military and economically! Keep helping, it’s never enough! Thank you 🙏
Владимира Кара-Мурзу арестовали на 15 суток, обвинив в неповиновении полиции. Из протокола: «Гр-н Кара-Мурза Владимир Владимирович при виде сотрудников полиции повел себя неадекватно, изменив траекторию движения, ускорил шаг и на требование остановиться попытался скрыться».
Twice have the Russian authorities tried to kill my husband for advocating for sanctions against thieves and murderers, and now they want to throw him in prison for calling their bloody war a WAR. I demand my husband’s immediate release!
Add on 2: also as huge fan of @timurkuran work on preference falsification I also look at all surveys conducted in Russia today with skepticism. Plus read this work https://t.co/w3tvfAqbBf by #maxschaub & #philippchapkovski which suggests support is lower but still VERY HIGH
Oleg Orlov, Head of banned by the Kremlin @hrc_memorial, detained in Moscow during a one-man vigil at the Red Square. This act &the liquidation of the Center show the Kremlin's not even playing democracy anymore & is no more hiding its complete return to totalitarian approaches.
R.I.P. the Moscow Carnegie Center. A small loss among numerous losses recently, but back 20 years ago it was one of the liveliest, intellectually, centers in Moscow.
Russian Ministry of Justice closes @CarnegieRussia as well as local branches of @KASonline, @FESonline & other German foundations. Expected but still regrettable https://t.co/9u5MZUdxLv
