“NATO scrambled jets, could have shot the drone down, but allowed it to fly over NATO territory for 5o minutes, escorted it back to Ukrainian air space—and giving it another chance to kill Ukrainians (courtesy of NATO).”

Just released my free weekend update. Big stories of the week include the continuation and sophistication of the Ukrainian ranged attacks, the utter failure of NATO, which ended the week escorting Russian drones so they could attack Ukraine… open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Welcome to Paris!

First week of teaching in Paris Sorbonne. Of course, my first lecture is postponed because today is strike day and getting to the Uni might be nearly impossible for staff & students. The experience wouldn't be french otherwise. 😅

Historic selfie. Ukraine’s government leadership always visit the sites of Russia’s drone and missile attacks. Today Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko just had to walk down the hall. This is the cabinet of ministers building in central Kyiv after the biggest Russian drone attack of the war.

As Ukrainians kids go back to school, time to retweet this research.

Russian invasion has lowered Ukrainian students' performance in PISA by 23 points in reading and 9 points in science.

Most likely mechanism : psychological stress.

There is strong impact of air-raids if they happen on the night before the national exam, but negligible impact in the long-term.

Why Finland thinks Finlandization is a bad idea for Ukraine!

Minna Ålander 🌻 @alanderminna.bsky.social · Sep 3

Frankly this is complete bs. I dare say that no one in Finland thinks that Ukraine should be forced to follow our example. If Stubb tries to push for this it’s not going to be popular. I personally find the whole idea highly insulting. Both to Ukraine and to Finland.

Blood red carpet. By Mykhailo Dunakovskiy.

Map of Russia’s targeted bombing of Kyiv last night.

Shocking to see like this.

According to the Ukrainian Air Forces Russia sent:
- 397 Shahed-type attack UAVs and simulated drones of various types
- 8 Iskander-M ballistic missiles
- 6 X-101 cruise missiles
- 4 S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles

This daily diary is amazing. @adamprz.bsky.social is a scholar of democracy and he started keeping a diary on 11 of February to document Trump's actions and to reflect about them in real time. This is his motivation in his own words

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?
