Congrats on your special appearance at the St Petersburg Economic Forum, Denys Shtilierman! Your message was outstanding and will go down in history!
“Go hide in a damp, rat-filled basement yourself, Mr. Putin.” Russian women’s furious message to the Kremlin: you started this war, then left us with nowhere to shelter when it — predictably — came back home.

Russia should think carefully about what it wishes for. Europe opposes spheres of influence, but if they return, Russia will fall into our sphere, not the other way around. We are stronger and better at virtually everything
In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity. Do listen. I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...
Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

“The homeland is not the president's ass. Putin is not the homeland, the State Duma is not the homeland, and the criminals who are now killing Ukrainians are not the homeland either. I love my homeland — a peaceful Russia that harms no one. But that country no longer exists.” 📹: aleksei_tln/TikTok
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children. For these victims and their loved ones, Easter is no longer a carefree period spent with the whole family. We must not forget their plight. #ChildrenAreNonNegotiable 1/2

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have made clear who they are. Only fools - or Kremlin tools - would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
