Bush '01: I looked Putin in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward&trustworthy. I was able to get a sense of his soul. Obama '10: reset relations with 🇷🇺 &reverse a “dangerous drift” Trump '25 trusts Putin will ‘keep his word’ on a deal to end the war in #Ukraine Hello??? #UkrainianView

Trump is asked if he still thinks Zelensky is a dictator. “Uh, did I say that?” he deadpans. “I can’t believe I said that.” You can infer lots of things from this exchange. Few of them are good (i.e., he walks back on #Ukraine). Most are very bad.

Dean Karlan's job at USAID was LITERALLY to improve the efficiency of its programs. DOGE is clearly not actually after cutting fraud and waste. And its actions will clearly make the US weaker while also making the world a worse place. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

"The choice is stark: will we stand up with 🇺🇦 to help it drive the invaders out & prove freedom still matters? Or will we surrender the moral clarity we once knew to fear and apathy? 🇺🇦’s courage is an awesome gift—we must not waste it." my latest on substack 👇 chakhoyan.substack.com/p/make-freed...

How much aid has the US actually provided to Ukraine? New @econ4ua.bsky.social analysis shows that the value of US aid delivered to Ukraine is $50.9 billion, a fraction of what the Trump administration claims. www.einpresswire.com/article/7889...

Many thanks to @cepr.org for organizing this panel and to @martinsandbu.ft.com for moderating it. It was a lively panel with @pisaniferry.bsky.social and @aranchagonzalez.bsky.social with some lessons for how Europe can respond to Trump and Putin #UkrainianView

“This War [Russian invasion] is far more important to Europe than it is to us,” Trump wrote. “We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.” A message to 🇵🇱, Baltics, 🇵🇱, 🇸🇪, 🇩🇪 & the rest of EUR? "Don't count on the US for help if things go bad. There is a big, beautiful Ocean." #UkrainianView

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional. Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees. In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role. Our Weimar+ statement ↓

after listening to Hegseth's remarks at the Ramstein meeting, I have 2 reactions: 1) Hegseth should consult Neville Chamberlain on appeasement 2) Military buildup in Europe is even more urgent 3) #Ukraine should not take a deal that is not enforceable (another "Minsk" would be a time bomb)

The outreach implemented by @tderyugina.bsky.social show that Russian academia mostly believes in Russian propaganda and promotes it. These are people who publish in Western journals and whose job is to think. So I suggest asking your Russian colleagues what they think econ4ua.org/russian-scie...

Got a letter to review a paper for "Vorposy Ekonomy", a russian "academic" journal. The paper is about the effect of sanctions and how 🇷🇺 gets around them. This is ofc 100% BS (bad science) but the journal is still indexed by Scopus & Web of Science. And they have "foreign editors"⬇️

Who would have thought such a reminder would be needed? The Nazis killed Jews for being Jewish. russians came to 🇺🇦 to kill Ukrainians for being Ukrainian. Some struggle to grasp this, others choose ignorance—because saying it out loud obligates the Free World to act.

Why did russia invade Ukraine 🇺🇦? It’s not about territory or NATO; not even democracy or moscow’s boundless thirst for money and power — it’s about lies, stolen identities, and imperial delusions. Read my latest in @thehill.com #UkraineWillWin
