The power went out at the bar here in Ukraine and everyone kept going about their evening as if nothing happened.

💔 A man who lost his wife and four-month-old son to shelling last year has again been left without a home after a Russian drone strike.
Serhii moved in with his daughter to a house owned by a member of the local church community. Russian drone struck their home on December 13.

This is a great article breaking down a key loan Ukraine needs to keep its economy going.

No Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo baggage.

Donald Trump’s racism informs his foreign policy—including Ukraine. I really think if Putin was a Black man, he’d give Ukraine all of the military aid it needs. I argue this in my latest Substack.
