Gave an interview to Newsweek. Glad to offer my perspective. newsweek.com/zelensky-conces…

Amazed by the stories that suggest Assad's fall threatens Russia's ambition to reestablish itself as a "world power." The last time Russia had such power may have been during its intervention in 1848 Hungary. USSR≠Russia. Sustained support of Ukraine in 2025 will yield results.

Why does the media keep repeating that Ukr military operations in the Kursk region represent the “biggest foreign incursion into Russia since World War II ,” @AndrewKramerNYT ? Dangerously conflates Ukr with the Axis powers of 1941. Please leave history to the historians.

Worth the wait. Addictive and profound. ⁦@IAPonomarenko⁩’s must-read book on the Battle of Kyiv is easily the best English language book written about the war so far.

The height of Russian hypocrisy. FM Sergei Lavrov yesterday in Beijing: “There is no place for dictatorships, hegemony, neocolonial and colonial practices, which are now being widely used by the United States and the rest of the ‘collective West.”

My key message: "Spreading despair is a strategy. It's part of an effort to immobilize people, make them feel powerless. This is one method used by Russia to mask genocide in Ukraine." A huge thank you to @UWyonews for hosting @avalaina, @tca1_ & me 🇺🇦 wyomingnews.com/wyomingbusin…

Seminar brings genocide in Ukraine to light at UW

Spreading despair is a strategy.
