"soldiers that year. In January, Putin removed the general in charge of the war in Ukraine, Sergei Surovikin, whom he had appointed just a few months earlier. Wartime leaders change their top generals only when they know they are losing." 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

"Instead the Ukrainian military kept Russian troops out of Kyiv, defended Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, and launched successful counteroffensives in the fall so that by the end of 2022, it had liberated over 50 percent of the territory previously captured by Russian.."2 — PolitiTweet.org

"Nearly a year after he invaded Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to achieve any of his major objectives. He has not unified the alleged single Slavic nation, he has not “denazified” or “demilitarized” Ukraine, and he has not stopped NATO expansion." 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine now has many more weapons than before the invasion. NATO is expanding. Your army has been exposed for being much weaker than we thought. Your economy will be isolated for years. & for what? To occupy just a little more territory beyond what you were occupying in 2014. — PolitiTweet.org

Ambassador, I know Russian diplomats have a tough assignment these days. But these kinds of arguments defy logic. Putin was not compelled to invade Ukraine. He chose to do so. And in doing so, has made Russia less secure, not more secure. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. and NATO policy is very clear -- help Ukrainians liberate their country from Russian occupiers. If you would withdraw your invading forces, you could save their lives and your economy. You are choosing to break Russia through this disastrous war. Please stop. Save Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Just as the Chinese did when they captured our EP-3 spy plane in 2001, I suspect U.S. intelligence agencies will learn a lot from examining the remnants of the Chinese spy balloon. Smart to have shot it down over water not land, both to save lives and perhaps to learn more. — PolitiTweet.org

Over hundreds of years, liberalism and democracy have correlated. But I’m guessing we have different definitions of liberalism. Check out @FukuyamaFrancis latest book on the subject. I highly recommend. — PolitiTweet.org

Mikhail Ulyanov @Amb_Ulyanov

@McFaul The distinction is evident for me. Liberals are very much authoritarian in my view. Democracy is something different, Ambassador.
