@SenatorCantwell Like @MikeJohnson said, using frozen assets from Russia to help Ukraine fight this unprovoked war would be “pure poetry.” Thanks for your leadership.

I’ve sponsored a bill that would require Russian sovereign assets frozen under U.S. jurisdiction are sent to Ukraine.
With roughly $300 billion in Russian assets frozen around the world, we must continue to stand with Ukraine.

@chukurchuk @M__Verbruggen @ABeardedPanda This has also been published in the new issue of Russian History, with a response by me.

@M__Verbruggen @ABeardedPanda Much of it is whispered by the usual russophiles at the usual conferences, but occasionally they will speak it aloud and even sign their names to it. See, for example, several responses to blog posts by @SSmithPeter1 linked here:

This is a great way to learn Ukrainian. I did this many years ago.

@yermolenko_v gave a great talk @cooperunion event on 2 years since the war on how Ukraine is a nation of “despite” - having a vibrant arts scene despite the war, being strong despite the war. A moving talk. @avalaina @Kristina__Hook @ShevchenkoSoc
English
Great example of making the debate local and personal, which can still get through. Ads featuring factory workers who will keep their jobs if Ukraine aid gets passed would be powerful. How to make the politics of Ukraine aid local would be a good question to ask. 4/4
English
Maybe the message can still get through. It feels like there’s only a shortish window after an event where Americans will care about somewhere else, but then it closes. I wish it weren’t that way, but it is. The @razomforukraine billboard in Johnson’s home district is a 3/4
English
Is the new isolationism in the US a contraction of the moral sphere of Americans? At the event @cooperunion yesterday, there was talk about how the moral sphere of Ukrainians expanded from the family to the nation, but @yermolenko_v @Kristina__Hook @avalaina @ShevchenkoSoc 1/4

This is a great opportunity to continue the discussion about decolonizing the field. Oleksa is a pleasure to work with. I’d encourage any scholars interested to take part. @irgarner @ksvarnon

@MarcelHVanHerpe There is zero evidence that Mearsheimer is a Russia expert and yet here he is again spreading Putin’s misinformation.

You want to see a « useful idiot »? Well. here’s one!

There is no evidence that Putin wanted to create a greater Russia. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a preventive war motivated by NATO expansion into Ukraine: #OneMinuteInsights with American scholar of international relations John Mearsheimer @MearsheimerJ
English
Just your regular reminder that anything John Mearsheimer says regarding the Russo-Ukrainian War is very misinformed.
English
“For such a time as this.”
@razomforukraine is running billboards in @SpeakerJohnson’s home district in Shreveport to make sure he knows Ukraine’s Baptists are counting on him.
Helping Ukraine isn’t just a good deal for Americans, it’s the right thing to do. #UkraineAidNow.

via @NYTOpinion - Navalny told Akunin that participation in the battle of good versus neutrally was the most impactful thing. Now he belongs to the ages. nytimes.com/2024/02/17/opi…

Watching a great talk by @JohnVsetecka at @HURI_Harvard about the legacies of the Holodomor. He did archival research and found a trove of evidence from those who lived through it. Heartbreaking photos from a father who couldn’t get over son’s death. @oonuch @PopovaProf

To do today: 1. Call your representative in Congress to ask them to #PassUkraineAidNow 2. Find 3 people you know and convince them to do the same thing.
Democracy is a participatory sport. Don't lose it. Practice it.
Razom for Ukraine 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦@razomforukraine
The fate of the Ukrainian people and the security of America's allies in Europe are now in the hands of @SpeakerJohnson. If he allows a vote, this aid package for Ukraine will pass. @razomforukraine's full statement on the Senate's passage of supplemental aid for Ukraine.
