So much about Russia’s invasion plan was really nuts, but the idea they could waltz into Ukrainian towns and install their own rule without local pushback looks so out-of-touch with reality as to be actually bizarre. https://t.co/PiYUi2fR9k

"Follow the Ukrainian government's advice about how to officially register, and do not go there telling them where and how you want to participate in the fighting. … You are not Rambo, there to single-handedly slay Russians and post your selfies"

More than 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine have crossed into neighbouring countries in 10 days — the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.

Since the begining of the war in #Ukraine, 201,133 🇺🇦refugees entered #Moldova. Our country currently offers shelter for over 96,000 🇺🇦citizens, including about 40,000 minors. Moldova is by far the country with the highest number of refugees per capita.

Britain again a laughing stock on global stage
So there you have it. Despite serious concerns from spooks and vetting committees about granting Lebedev a peerage, the trolley overruled them all and gave him one anyway claiming it was “anti-Russianism” not to.https://t.co/FqnQ3yfCYs

b) My colleagues @lukeharding & @dansabbagh & @TownsendMark & I & @openDemocracy’s Jim Cusick & @BylineTimes’ @johnsweeneyroar have done MULTIPLE stories on Lebedev & never a PEEP from you. Not a single one https://t.co/orUjRiRk5f

today catching up with my scoop from two years ago that Baron Siberia @mrevgenylebedev

And then, magically, he wasn't. @BorisJohnson has been compromised. @BylineTimes @carolecadwallahttps://t.co/0cllVPy6y6

Putin was insistent that May completed on Brexit. He seems to really care about it.
He, of all people, citing the “democracy” imperative to remove public power to reevaluate it, is bemusing. pic.twitter.com/g6sek28uNG

In addition to all of the obvious reasons it's a moronic idea, the EU has:

a) Never been this united;
b) Never been this willing to accept some economic pain to punish threats to regional security and the legal order.
You do not want to fuck with them right now.

That Pence even needs to have this conversation is sickening and shows just how in bed with Putin the GOP has been. That Putin didn't take Ukraine in 3 days as they expected, has them all now scrambling. https://t.co/EfGz8PpAMo

John Bolton says that he, Pompeo and Esper were “appalled” at how Trump treated Ukraine, that he believes that Trump was going to pull the US out of NATO in his 2nd term, and that is what Putin was waiting for before moving forward with plans to invade Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/nlw1H0yJkW
