Chubais made mistakes (Ive written about some of them in academic journals). But he was committed to trying to modernize Russia and make Russians richer and freer. He is a patriot. He loves Russia. His action today must be understood with this context. — PolitiTweet.org

They all knew that project ended long ago. But Chubais decision today is a new phase. Anyone who thinks like he does has no future in Putins regime . They should get out now too, before the purges and scapegoating begin. — PolitiTweet.org

Chubais and Putin knew each from the early 1990s in St Petersburg & the Sobchak era. Chubais helped Putin get a job in the Yeltsin govt. Chubais, Gref, Kudrin all worked with Putin hoping to advance liberal econ reforms from within which would the produce redemocratization. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbroken by the passing of @madeleine. I just talked to her last week about Ukraine and she was still fighting the righteous fight. She was a mentor and role model -- academic, practitioner, activist for democracy -- of mine for decades. The world will miss her strong voice. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing will be more reassuring to NATO allies close to Russia than a Putin defeat in Ukraine. And nothing will be more frightening to these allies than a Putin win in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, NATO must signal new commitments of military assistance to Ukraine and at a faster speed. EU must signal a long commitment to reduce dependence on Russian energy but also a short-term commitment to disrupt these energy purchases. Actions speak louder than communiques. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin slaughtering of civilians in Mariupol and extending @navalny jail time are acts of weakness, not strength. The “strongman” label given to him lazily for so many years (including by me at times) has to be retired forever. — PolitiTweet.org
