Plan de paix pour l’Ukraine | Le pire des sapins russo-américains
Cinq semaines avant l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie, la journaliste russe Elena Chernenko s’était moquée des demandes que Vladimir Poutine avait adressées à l’Ukraine et à l’OTAN.

Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day. In a world where moral intuition often seems to have been lost, this is a good occasion to remind ourselves that starving people to death is evil.
The Holodomor was a series of artificial famines by the soviet regime in 1921–1923, 1932–1933, and 1946–1947. The most devastating (1932–1933) was a genocide of Ukrainians, taking millions of lives.
Remember those who died of hunger on their own land.
Remember those responsible for it.

"Russia wanted to make sure that we freeze, so a lot of Ukrainians stayed home and tried to stay warm by any means, and so by intensively staying warm during such difficult times it actually gave a formula how you can have more Ukrainians." For those who want a little pick-me-up today 😊

Hinter dem Eklat um den Auftritt von Jason Stanley in einer Frankfurter Synagoge verbirgt sich ein ungelöster Konflikt: zwischen liberalem und orthodoxem Judentum.

I think it was @marcishore.bsky.social's book The Ukrainian Night which first showed me how Euromaidan was about the Kantian sense of dignity, that "that which does not have a price, which cannot be bought or sold."
Ever since reading that book, I see it as the best case path for the US as well.

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives.
I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

Just read—The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of a Revolution by Marci Shore. A hard book to put down! After a brief recap of the causes, you're right there in the thick of the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, living it through the words of the protesters themselves. Phenomenal!
