AP has changed its style for the capital of Ukraine to Kyiv, in line with the Ukrainian government’s preferred transliteration to English and increasing usage. Include a reference in stories to the former spelling of Kiev. The food dish remains chicken Kiev.

Some things we need to re-learn as a society:
1. "You're wrong" is not the same as "you're stupid."
2. Facts are facts, and opinions are opinions. They are not the same.
3. Some people are better positioned to speak on certain issues than others.

Sure, I just finished dedicating 10 years of my life to becoming an expert on politics, economics, discourse, and power. But by all means, show me your meme that will teach me the error of my ways. #2020 #itsbegun#whydidigetadoctorateagain

Live: Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council discusses the possibility of imposing martial law after Russian vessel rams Ukrainian tugboat and seizes three of the country's ships: https://t.co/TaoOCp1Iom

For its part, Russia's FSB claimed that the Ukrainian vessels crossed into a "temporarily closed area" of the sea. This is tricky, because the Sea of Azov is an inland sea "jointly controlled" by the two countries under a 2003 agreement. More/less, either side can go anywhere.

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

The Ukrainian Navy said its ships were carrying out a planned relocation from the Black Sea port of Odesa to the Sea of Azov port of Mariupol when Russian FSB vessels intercepted them. Photos by Russia's FSB, via @interfax_news, show the dangerous maneuvering in the water.

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

This is a lengthy thread but the situation is serious: Clashes between Russian and Ukrainian naval vessels today is unprecedented, and it officially marks a new front, as well as the most serious escalation in the ongoing conflict in Donbas in over a year.
