Pollsters: please ask no more questions about the "situation in Ukraine" or the "crisis in Ukraine." Please ask about "the Russian invasion of Ukraine" or "Russia's war on Ukraine." That is an actual event on which people have views.

The Greek-American community presented the Oxi Courage Award, commemorating Greece’s defiance of the fascists in WWII, to Volodomir Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine. The award was accepted by Ukraine’s US Ambassador @OMarkarova – at Washington, DC

I want to thank the Russian Academy for this Lifetime Achievement Award.
Russia has sanctioned Joe Biden and a range of other top US officials. The main impact of this is they can now make corny jokes on cable news about how they won't be able to access their Russian bank accounts or go on vacation in Siberia, I guess

A reminder, in light of #Putin's revisionist history: In the 1991 independence referendum, 92% of people voted not to be part of Russia. Importantly, a majority of people in *every single region*, including the ones Russia has now taken over, voted yes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_U… – at Brussels, Belgium

Today I am reminded of the valiant British soldiers at Dunkirk, and the incredible strength and resilience of the British people as they were getting PUMMELED by the Nazis, just waiting for the American Calvary to come and help. That’s got to be how Ukraine feels right now.

#Russia is a kleptocracy, run by a violent lunatic. No one should be surprised that they are now stealing planes from Western countries. It’s the least of their crimes.🤬 #PutinWarCriminal #UkraineRussiaWar #Ukraine

1/2 I praise the approval by the #UN GA with an unprecedented majority of votes of the resolution with a strong demand to Russia to immediately stop the treacherous attack on 🇺🇦. I’m grateful to everyone & every state that voted in favor. You have chosen the right side of history

Russia’s invasion will ultimately lead to Ukraine being admitted to both NATO and the European Union.

The US, EU, Canada, & the UK just released a joint statement committing to several major sanctions actions, including a SWIFT ban and restrictions on the Central Bank of Russia. This is a big deal, but details will matter. Here's my initial analysis (🧵): ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…
