100pc. There are concerns about some of the instruments deployed during war time. But a reliable rule of thumb is that those who make a Ukraine=Russia or Zelensky=Putin comparison are ignorant or making a political attack — or mix thereof.

Ukraine remains a country where we can report on its politics freely, from its soil, the good & the bad. The same can’t be said for Russia. The rank hypocrisy of those like Dmitriev who live under and serve a dictatorship criticising the politics of infinitely freer states.

I would kindly refer Mr Dmitriev to behavioural patterns of his boss. For sake of clarity, the referenced text was written by @ArkadyOstrovsky. I believe key is what Ukraine would emerge from period of war centralisation. On that, it’s an open question. Not so with the Kremlin.

Kirill A. Dmitriev @kadmitriev

Wow. Is The Economist — the gold standard of wisdom and truth — now copy-pasting “Kremlin talking points”? The Economist: “Power is being monopolised in Ukraine. Critics say the presidency is becoming too mighty, and making mistakes”. https://t.co/MVoAFq9dFg

If someone wants to close their eyes to this and somehow “normalize” a Russia that kills children like this, the only thing they might achieve is spreading Russian strikes to a few more nations. The scum running things in Moscow are completely fucking insane.

Fair is foul and foul is fair. My new dispatch from the topsy-turvy world of post-Trump Kyiv, pregnant with resentment, paranoia and pre-election speculation. https://t.co/sgaWDOPXK8

RT @yarotrof: The Russian readout and the U.S. readout once again differ on critical details.

Feels like a bit of a mugging. The talks were trailed as technical, agreeing no-strike list of infrastructure targets. In the end, seasoned Russian negotiators spent 12 hours wearing the Americans down. Sanctions relief the minimum. Who knows what else was agreed.

Been speaking with senior Ukrainian govt source re skewed negotiations. He called it a “deliberate humiliation” by Putin: “Trump needed an info win fm ceasefire deal, but Russia undercut his success, demanding sanctions relief. Alpha male isn’t Trump, they’re saying, it’s Putin.”
