Sad to see @Skoltech on the U.S. sanctions list. That was a noble project. Putin destroys everything good inside Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

@ianbremmer That my sense as well. Bu then why did Tom suggest otherwise? Was that just his reporting? As far as I can tell, the WH source was the only source for the story. he obviously didnt talk to anyone in Ukraine. (Even a quick, Google search of those names could have revealed truth) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@ianbremmer It matters to Zelensky and his team. That I know for a fact. Tom implied (wrongly; he really garbled this) also that the Ukrainian govt is corrupt by firing 2 ineffective ministers, echoing USG sources. That also is not going down well in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Everyone in Ukraine knows that fighting corruption must be a central injective, both now and after the war. But insinuations about corruption, not anchored in fact, of our Ukrainian partners in our common fight for democracy and independence in Europe are not useful. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Strange that Tom Friedman in his @nytopinion today implied that the firing of Zelensky's childhood friend at the SBU was evidence of corruption? My Ukrainian friends, not all Z fans, saw it as just the opposite! Firing of General Prosecutor also mostly celebrated. And this: 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Hope Xi agrees! Not sure he will. But don't see another choice for the Biden team at this moment. She's already there. Can't argue now that she should not have gone. 2/ END — PolitiTweet.org

There was no enthusiasm in the White House for Pelosi's visit to Taiwan at this time. But now that she has made the trip, @JakeSullivan46 and others are rightly trying to manage this moment in U.S.-China relations by framing the visit as continuity in US policy. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Not good. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Whether it was prudent or not for Pelosi to make this trip now is a different discussion. But what’s done is done. Pragmatic leaders in Beijing and Washington need to manage this issue now, not make it worse. (On superpower crisis management, read wisdom from Alex George) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

If Pelosi calls for Taiwan independence or the resumption of US-Taiwan diplomatic ties, that would be a cataclysmic mistake. But she won't. So, everyone should just chill, and stop making a mountain out of a molehill. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

With a hat tip to @paulmozur for retweeting, @JihoTiun has an eloquent take on the benefits of the @SpeakerPelosi visit for #Taiwan. You can agree or disagree, but it's a rational explanation. — PolitiTweet.org
