No one with a brain.
Russian diplomats are now promoting the anniversary of Moscow’s 1940 occupation of the Baltic states, which was made possible by the Soviet alliance with Nazi Germany. Does anyone still seriously believe Putin’s imperial ambitions end at Ukraine?

🥹 11-year-old Danish boy becomes the first foreigner to receive the “Future of Ukraine” award Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented the honorary award to Jens Thomsen — a schoolboy who has been handcrafting Easter decorations since last year, selling them and donating the proceeds to help Ukrainian children. Over the past year, the boy raised more than 34,000 Danish kroner and used the funds to buy backpacks and school supplies for children affected by the war. “Huge thanks to Jens — from all our people, from the children of Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote.

Two people who had positive impacts on my life passed away this week. Tom Rothenberg, emeritus at Berkeley, was my mentor and unofficial advisor when I was an undergrad after I enrolled in his PhD course. He directed me to UCSD and was key in my getting a Regents' Fellowship.
