"Ukrainians I know harbor a very specific, private worry: Should Putin succeed in fully taking Donbas, he might declare his war of conquest over for now, quickly prompting some Western leaders to urge Zelensky to accept the loss of occupied land as the price of peace." 1/TRHEAD — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
The West did little in response to Putin's annexation of Crimea. 8 years later, he invaded again to try to annex more of Ukraine. So why would Putin stop after annexing Donbas? Wouldn't he just pause for a while & resume his invasion again when ready? https://t.co/707gGCcDmV — PolitiTweet.org

In invading Ukraine, Putin tried to (1) unite the alleged "one nation" of Russians & Ukrainians, (2) de-Nazify Ukraine/overthrow Zelensky (3) capture Kyiv & Kharkiv, (4) stop NATO expansion, (5) demilitarize Ukraine. He has failed so far to achieve all 5 of these objectives. — PolitiTweet.org

To those arguing on my feed that it is wrong to blame all Russians for Putin's war (& I agree) please then stop blaming me personally (as several just did) for Bush's invasion of Iraq twenty years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

On which individual Russians to sanction, our Working Group has some very concrete ideas, outlined in "Individual Sanctions Roadmap: Recommendations for Sanctions against the Russian Federation." https://t.co/832pvnH9GU — PolitiTweet.org

I want Europe, Canada, and the US to issue MORE visas to Russians, not less, but with some conditions. Read my take here: Opinion | Want to undermine Putin? Help Russians who are opposed to the war. https://t.co/UxF0LWEctE — PolitiTweet.org

@amadeaur I have lots of Russian friends who left after Putin invaded Ukraine I cant think of a single one of them who call it "punishment" to donate $100 to Ukrainian reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Got it. And to be clear, my idea - as a counter to the complete travel ban suggested by others -- is also not reparations, but a fee or donation. I actually know many Russians who would gladly pay it. Some oligarchs would even pay billions to Ukraine to get off the sanction list. — PolitiTweet.org

And please explain to me why my mom in Montana (a US taxpayer) has to pay for Ukrainian reconstruction, but rich Russians traveling to Europe bear no obligation or responsibility to do so? I asked my mom the other day. She doesn't think that's fair. What's your answer? — PolitiTweet.org
Gérard Araud @GerardAraud
Russia, not individual Russians picked on a random basis may be called to pay. https://t.co/2dACb6HWbV
Michael McFaul @McFaul
As I argued with Lavrov numerous times about the Magnitsky Act, it is a privelege, not a right, to obtain a visa to travel to a sovereign country, Countries have the right to establish the conditions of that travel. As a Morgenthua realist, surely you respect sovereignty? — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Russians traveling to France for vacation and asked to make a donation to Ukrainian reconstruction are not picked "randomly." They are making a choice. They can pay the fee or CHOOSE to holiday instead in Belarus. (I have paid all sorts of extra fees for travel in the past.) — PolitiTweet.org

Please explain to me why it is unjust or against international law to ask Russians traveling to Europe to make a contribution to Ukrainian reconstruction. Why am I, as a US taxpayer, required to give Ukraine aid but Russians are not? My country did not invade Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

And Ambassador, you're the expert on int law not me, but haven't taxpayers residing in invading countries had to pay reparations after unjust wars? Didn't Iraqis do so after Saddam invaded Kuwait? Didn't German taxpayers have to pay reparations to your country in the past? — PolitiTweet.org

Asking Russian citizens to help pay for Ukrainian reconstruction is not "collective punishment" any more than asking French taxpayers or American taxpayers to pay collectively for Ukrainian reconstruction. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
