So there are new tea leaves pointing in opposite directions. 5/ END THREAD — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

The Duma passed a (non-binding) resolution calling for Russia to recognize Ukrainian regions as independent states. That's de facto a declaration of war since Putin-backed rebels don't control all of these territories. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

He told Lavrov to pursue negotiations, yes. That's good news. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

We are all looking for signs of Putin pivoting towards negotiations, not war, because we all want to avoid war. But we should be careful about cherry-picking the tea leaves. 1/ THREAD — PolitiTweet.org

Putin has labeled @navalny a terrorist. That's all you need to know to understand his commitment to facts and truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Of course, Putin needs to keep repeating the myth that he has no intentions to invade Ukraine in case he decides to back down. But that doesn't mean we have to repeat that myth. Sending 150,000 soldiers to Ukraine's border is a threat of war. — PolitiTweet.org

In diplomacy, interlocutors -- especially representing hostile countries -- frequently stake out maximalist demands at the beginning of the negotiations. That doesnt mean those will be final positions. — PolitiTweet.org
