Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives.
I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

Ukrainians live through that - and the very next morning, we go to work, kids go to schools, life goes on (we have to, we cannot let Russia win). Our resilience never ceases to amaze me, honestly.

Russia stole Crimea from Ukraine, and if US President Donald Trump recognizes Moscow’s land grab as part of a peace deal, he will risk destroying war crimes investigations, weakening the rule of law and setting a dangerous precedent for other aggressive powers.
If Trump recognizes Crimea as Russian, he risks blowing a hole in war crimes cases
Legalizing Moscow’s occupation would also send a dangerous message to other aggressive powers.

Last night's attacks again show Russia bent on more suffering and the annihilation of Ukraine. Devastating to see children among innocent victims harmed and killed. My thoughts are with the families today.
We need the strongest international pressure on Russia to stop this war.
