Russian troops advance in Ukraine as Kyiv runs low on air defenses washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/…

Great scoop by DC colleagues: Trump thinks Ukraine and Russia are looking for a way to save face.

Russian authorities threaten to bury Navalny in prison colony, aide says washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/…

Navalny was the leader and the best-known but there are many more political prisoners in Russia, held in brutal conditions and now reminded that their lives could be taken at any moment. washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/…

Weekend Read - 'The Dissident: Alexey Navalny: Profile of a Political Prisoner' by David M. Herszenhorn. Read a review in Kirkus Reviews kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/d…

Senate Majority Leader Schumer was visiting Lviv and called our WashPost team in east Ukraine for an interview. Siobhán O’Grady put him on the phone with a drone unit commander to hear first-hand about the ammo shortage costing soldiers’ lives. Video 👇 washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/…

Thanks to Martine Powers and all of my colleagues at Post Reports for this conversation about Navalny, and why his legacy matters. In civilized society, demanding fair elections and calling out corruption does not warrant a death sentence. washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-…

Went on Morning Joe to talk about Navalny and “The Dissident”- the book I wrote as a profile of Russia’s most prominent political prisoner but is now an obituary. Navalny is dead because he wanted freedom for Russia. His death should outrage everyone. msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…
