For @cepa, I wrote about the changes taking place in 🇩🇪 foreign policy after the 🇷🇺 invasion of #Ukraine. Rather than saying the #Zeitenwende has failed, one should view it as a generational project that requires a strong 🇺🇸 commitment to Europe. ⬇️ 1/7

To tackle the difficult domestic and international governance landscape, incoming German Chancellor Merz will have to overcome the fears that have undermined Germany’s politics for over a decade, from fear of refugees to fear of themselves, writes @samddenney.

Thrilled to have taken part in this young leaders exchange with @eu_eeas & @LithuaniaMFA.

A strong 🇺🇸-🇪🇺 alliance is essential for 🇺🇸 foreign policy. Bolstering people-to-people ties through exchanges like this is crucial to securing the future of this vital relationship.

[Lithuania MFA 🇱🇹 | #StandWithUkraine @LithuaniaMFA]

Baltic security dilemmas, the importance of transatlantic links & people-to-people ties were the main topics of the EU-US Emerging Leaders Visitors program, which gathered US-based professionals to Vilnius. It was a pleasure working on this with @eu_eeas

You know how you know women are smarter?

None of them showed up for this PRC PR exercise and then said stuff like "we were very impressed with Xi"

🚨 New Pew poll:

74% of Americans view the war in Ukraine as important to US national interests

43% describe it as “very important”

59% of Americans describe the war in Ukraine as important to them *personally* when asked

Alexei @navalny fought for the values of freedom and democracy. For his ideals, he made the ultimate sacrifice.

The EU holds the Russian regime for sole responsible for this tragic death.

I extend my deepest condolences to his family. And to those who fight for democracy around the world in the darkest conditions.

Fighters die. But the fight for #freedom never ends.

@tluetkefend @ACScowcroft Congratulations! @ACScowcroft is lucky to have you.

5 other former US ambassadors to #Ukraine and I take strong exception to many points in Thomas Graham's piece on Ukraine and #EU. @CFR_org declined to run our response, which has now been published by The Bulwark: https://t.co/ZD1AP5l7Z1

[Max Bergmann @maxbergmann]

This is something the Biden administration should actively support. This would be far more impactful than a few more countries hitting 2%. It could be a huge deliverable for the Washington Summit. But it probably only happens with US prodding.

[Sam Denney @samddenney]

@LianaFix @EmmaMAshford Congratulations, Liana!!

Does Vladimir Putin want negotiations? Almost certainly yes.

Does Putin want to negotiate? Almost certainly not.

The difference is not semantic.
