We’re delighted to announce Avril Haines as the next president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. One of the most respected national security leaders of her generation, Avril brings a deep commitment to public service and the values at the heart of our mission.

Seeing content here on X that the Russians subordinated Rosgvardia to the General Staff of the military. That is incorrect. The decree expands the HQ staff of Rosgvardia and gives it its own general staff structure. Zolotov remains the head.

Multiple Russian war bloggers are calling out Gerasimov’s inflated reports of success. But these folks aren’t independent actors— they get MOD access now. Some faction is telling them to swat down Gerasimov and only a few outrank Gerasimov or have the krisha to do it.

Some brief thoughts following a recent field study trip to Ukraine. The current situation is difficult, but UA is working to stabilize the front. Much depends on whether the US provides support, and UA effectively addresses its manpower issues in the coming months. 1/

🇷🇸 | Serbia's Authoritarian (Re)turn

The conduct of #Serbia's latest elections points to the country's democratic decline.

The EU cannot stay neutral in the face of President Vučić's provocations and authoritarian tendencies.

1/ My colleague @eugene_rumer and I have published a new essay in @WSJ calling for Western leaders to abandon magical thinking about Russia and to develop a credible, long-term strategy for supporting Ukraine and containing an emboldened, revisionist Russia.

I’m more of a dog person, but on a recent trip I met the friendliest command post cat.

1/ Russia's wartime budget (source: leak to @business ) key takeaways:
- Putin prepares for the long war
- Guns above the butter (military spending exceeds social)
- all the cows that can still give milk in Russia's economy will be milked to death
