I wrote about Ukraine's recent anti-corruption protests for Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute.
28+ cities rapidly mobilised to defend democracy. Ukraine's civil society is vibrant as ever. Ukrainians will not accept a terrible deal in an attempt to end the war

Classic russian negotation tactics - ceding nothing, and manipulating the situation to its own benefit.
Putin has allegedly already given the order to halt energy attacks, but air alerts ongoing across Ukraine right now.
I guess we all know russia targets civilians, not just infrastructure.

Нью-Йорк вчора. Yesterday there was a last minute protest in NYC organised in solidarity with Ukraine. Turnout was in the hundreds, despite the short notice. New Yorkers care about Ukraine.
Similar events were being organised in 20 cities across the US.

3 years of full-scale invasion. 11 years of russia's war in Ukraine.
This anniversary reminds of russia's crimes, but also Ukrainian resistance. A "3 day" war ongoing, 3 years later.
Those on the side of justice, freedom & democracy stand with Ukraine.

Maksym Butkevych, Nariman Dzhelyal & Valerii Horishnii shared their experiences as POW in russian captivity with us at the Ukrainian Institute this week, whilst in NYC for the UN.

A powerful & sobering conversation. Such eloquence & dedicated advocacy work following such horror is incredible.
