Hong Kong offices around the world enable transnational repression and espionage activities. @WSJopinion "Anna Kwok, another bountied dissident, has warned that Beijing can use these diplomatic outposts to carry out transnational repression in the U.S." wsj.com/opinion/hong-k…

Many Ukrainians feel that they are fighting for the moral future of their children. Ceding land is one thing, but a peace agreement would also mean sacrificing family and friends, writes @JillianKayM on.wsj.com/4on3gVL

The West contemplates a path to peace mainly in political and pragmatic terms. But Ukrainians see the war in moral and existential terms. That’s how they can maintain their will, writes @JillianKayM on.wsj.com/457FmFZ

On the latest episode of the Potomac Watch podcast, @JillianKayM describes what it's like to live under the threat of air attacks in Ukraine. on.wsj.com/40UDnlM

In Estonia, memories of Soviet-era killings & deportations remain vivid. Such atrocities must never happen again—whatever the cost. That's why our defense spending will exceed 5% of GDP as early as next year. My conversation with @WSJ’s @JillianKayM. wsj.com/opinion/suppor…

Steve Witkoff suggested residents of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk had voted to be under Russian rule. But that 2022 referendum was a farce conducted at gunpoint, and here's what Kherson residents told me. wsj.com/opinion/ukrain…

My latest dispatch, from Kharkiv

Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region has further strained Moscow’s war resources and forced the Kremlin to make tough choices about how to use them. The U.S. can build on this momentum, writes @JillianKayM on.wsj.com/3zASp5S

@karol @bethanyshondark @elishamaldonado @KatTimpf @TianaTheFirst Wild how much has changed in those 7 years! Good thing we got that @KatTimpf cut-out laminated.

63 LONG WEEKS in a Russian prison. Evan Gershkovich needs to come home. Please think about him the next time you make a burger, go for a run, watch soccer or enjoy the simple things in life, for he remains locked in a Moscow cell for doing his job. #freeevan #istandwithevan

Just awful. Ukraine is losing so many brave, kind people.

Awful news and another painful loss for Ukraine. Iryna Tsybukh died near the front in Kharkiv region just days before her birthday. A prominent volunteer medic and member of the Hospitallers medical battalion, she saved and touched countless lives throughout Russia's horrific war. Her last post here, on May 23, read: "I have a birthday soon and I am very proud that I lived to be 26 🤗" RIP Iryna, forever 25. Her battalion announced her passing here: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=97…
