Henry Prown developed our course module on what the world knew about the Holodomor as it took place (a lot) and why calls to aid the starving were ignored. He's a former Temerty Postdoctoral Fellow in Holodomor Studies, CIUS, Univ of Alberta. It's free: coursera.org/learn/holodomor

Three years ago in @Newsweek, I argued that the destruction of the Kakhovka dam revealed the logic of Russia’s war: Putin would double down, take greater risks, and escalate eliminationist violence against Ukrainian civilians—even at the cost of destabilizing his own regime. 1/2

Looking forward to reading When the Ukrainian Sun Rises, by @Kristina__Hook!
Why did Ukrainians recognize Russia’s war as an existential threat long before much of the world?
Since Moscow’s 2014 invasion, I’ve traveled Ukraine asking this question.
10 yrs in the making, my new book When the Ukrainian Sun Rises is now open for pre-order @Georgetown_UP

Ukraine could really use air-defense missiles right now. But it’s year five of the war and Europeans still manufacture them in homeopathic doses.
