This evening's top headline over at Kommersant:

"Elect Yourself: Donald Trump Invites Ukraine to the Negotiation Table - and Volodymyr Zelensky to the Ballot Box."*

*Wordplay here - урна can be both a garbage can and a ballot box.

Did the Russians protest though dance? I don't think so.

What's the point of labeling a news outlet "undesirable" if you're just going to call us a "foreign agent"?

We need more stakeholder engagement and bottom-up approaches. We need to scale up.

Not loving the English translation of Navalny's Patriot. Clearly rushed. A lot of Russianisms and stilted language. Some examples: "Article" should be "charges." "It was regularly remarked" should be "It was often said." "Have you taken leave of your senses?" is 18th century vernacular. Etc.

Protesters in Krasnodar pulled out a banner that reads "Government and Oil. Mazut and Death" near Rosneft's office in the city. Rosneft oil was on board the two ships that wrecked in the Black Sea back in December. Still no word if the company will face any legal consequences for the oil spill.

“The previous administration, while having a priority on democracy, did not really do anything about preserving democracy in Georgia over the past two years,” Zourabichvili said.

Yes, blame the Americans for not "preserving democracy" in the country where you were until recently president.
