This morning, I met with Allies and partners to discuss our support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. We are committed to continuing our assistance and to imposing severe economic costs on Russia — and we reaffirmed our solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

"Before the invasion, Bucha was well known in Kyiv as a place to get away, to drop kids off at the summer camp for a couple of weeks," writes Simon Shuster (@shustry).

Владимира Кара-Мурзу арестовали на 15 суток, обвинив в неповиновении полиции. Из протокола: «Гр-н Кара-Мурза Владимир Владимирович при виде сотрудников полиции повел себя неадекватно, изменив траекторию движения, ускорил шаг и на требование остановиться попытался скрыться».

Twice have the Russian authorities tried to kill my husband for advocating for sanctions against thieves and murderers, and now they want to throw him in prison for calling their bloody war a WAR. I demand my husband’s immediate release!

Add on 2: also as huge fan of @timurkuran work on preference falsification I also look at all surveys conducted in Russia today with skepticism. Plus read this work blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2… by #maxschaub & #philippchapkovski which suggests support is lower but still VERY HIGH
