Requesting your thoughts and prayers as I attempt to navigate my university's system for claiming research expenses.

Russia is happy. Ukraine doesn't have enough weapons, the US military aid wasn't coming in for months. It pushes on the frontline and simultaneously destroys Ukrainian energy power plants which 🇺🇦 doesn't have enough air defence to protect. 'As long as it takes' sounds hollow

Very insightful points from General Cavoli's statement today:
- Ukraine cannot sustain this fight alone. The United States, our allies, and partners must continue to provide Ukraine with munitions, weapons, and materiel. 1/14

Britain is still making a killing from Putin’s war machine — brilliant from Ed Conway — the apparent end-run round Russian sanctions in three charts.

Currently on holiday and not tweeting, but emerging briefly to repost this. The UK Foreign Sec could not be clearer or more correct. 👇

My road home, liberated OTD two years ago. It took Russia's 5th Guards Tank Brigade one month to turn it into one of the most dreadful places on this planet, dubbed 'the road of death' – with hundreds of destroyed civilian cars and bodies of people gunned down on the spot.

Two years ago, Ukrainian forces liberated the town of Bucha from Russian invaders and uncovered horrific atrocities inflicted on the civilian population, including torture and mass executions.

Today we #StandWithUkraine in remembering the victims of this tragedy.

As the world begins Easter Sunday, we find ourselves in corridors and bomb shelters, with Russian missile terror raining down on us again. This so-called 'holy war,' as labeled by the Russian Orthodox Church, is nothing short of an attempt to exterminate Ukraine #genocide

The Russian Orthodox Church holds the 25th congress of the 'Russian world.' They adopt a policy document: patriarchia.ru/db/text/611618… [in Russian]. I nearly spilled my coffee reading it. About every sentence is pure gold, but the gist is this:

Ukraine lacks air defense because the US Congress, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, will not give it to them. The electricity grid may collapse while he is at home celebrating Easter.

Was invited for a few talks in #UK . My reply: sorry, #visa application process is very complicated, long and costly. Lat year, I had to go to Ukraine, apply there, wait and then pick up my visa in Warsaw. When will UK make visa applications easier, at least for #scholars ?

A blank space on today’s WSJ A1 where Evan Gershkovich’s reporting should be, one year after his arrest on patently false charges. Russia should free him now

In 2000, a distant family connection told my partner's uncle that he wouldn't vote for Al Gore because 'if he got elected, the Jews would kill him so Lieberman could become president'. I've always wondered how much antisemitism affected that election. cbsnews.com/news/joe-liebe…

Good luck finding a story that’s more characteristic of the Putin regime than this: “How the Russian authorities tried to charge a handless activist with strangling a police officer” meduza.io/en/feature/202…

An MP currently is asking whether the Moscow terror attack was the work of IS or Ukraine. This is the first time I've seen a sitting MP echoing Kremlin talking points since Jeremy Corbyn and the Skripal poisonings.
