I analyze @chathamhouse.org Zelenskyy’s decision to dismiss 🇺🇦’s defense minister Fedorov - and why this move backfired, leading to protests across 🇺🇦 If public pressure continues, will Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi’s appointment as the new Commander-in-Chief open a path to bring Fedorov back?👇

I am officially a Dr! 🎓 My PhD looks at the foundations of Russia’s occupation regime in 🇺🇦 from 2014-21. It traces how Moscow systematically built parallel de facto governance, financial and security structures, and cultural assimilation programs, well before the full-scale invasion. 1/2

With Russia remaining a constant threat and US support looking uncertain, Europe cannot be safe without a strong Ukraine. I look forward to joining this discussion @friendsofeurope.bsky.social Details: www.friendsofeurope.org/events/the-f... Register: friendsofeurope.my.site.com/foe/s/event-...

I spoke to @telegraph.co.uk about the evolving dynamics on the frontline in Ukraine. Despite the narrative of a ‘stalemate’, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Link to the article 👇

How can democracy survive when a country is fighting for its very survival as a state and as a nation? Our new report examines Ukrainians’ views and lived experience of martial law restrictions and how the war has reshaped the country’s democratic path. 👇

It was a privilege to moderate this event on how Russia has weaponized culture, religion and language as instruments of oppression and propaganda, and why safeguarding Ukrainian language, cultural heritage and Orthodox Church are essential to achieving lasting peace. The recording is now available ⬇️

My latest @chathamhouse.org piece to mark the fourth anniversary of #Russia’s full-scale invasion. As the return of great power competition coincides with uncertainty over the long-term US commitments to Europe, #Ukraine is increasingly seen as a cornerstone of future European security. Link ⬇️

Spoke live @deutschewellerss.newsmast.social.ap.brid.gy: The pressure has intensified with Trump setting a Thanksgiving deadline for🇺🇦 to accept a 28-point ‘peace deal’ hammered out by Witkoff & Dmitriev without Kyiv’s or Europe’s involvement, threatening to cut off US intelligence & weapons supply ⬇️

My comments for @reuters.com reacting to #Trump's seeming rhetorical shift in #Ukraine's favour: “It's dawning on Trump, the fact that Putin has been stringing him along," Jaroslava Barbieri, a research fellow in Chatham House's Ukraine Forum, told Reuters. 1/2

On my way back from #Kyiv. Tonight #Russia launched its largest air attack since Feb 2022, with 810 drones & 13 missiles. For the first time, Kyiv’s main govt building was hit. As of now, strikes in residential areas have resulted in at least 4 people dying, including an infant, & 44 being injured.

My comments for @theipaper.com on #Russia’s advances in #Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region. inews.co.uk/news/world/h... 1️⃣ This development has military-economic, political and social implications.

Following Trump’s volte-face on the issue of securing a ceasefire as a precondition for any meaningful peace negotiations, my comments @kyivindependent.com on the implications of accepting Russia’s proposal on the sequencing of a ceasefire vs. peace agreement. kyivindependent.com/trump-walks-...

Some quick thoughts from Orysia Lutsevych and myself @chrussiaeurasia.bsky.social for @reuters.com on Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders in Washington and the prospect of direct talks between #Ukraine and #Russia - www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I spoke @cnbc.com about Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy & European leaders in DC. Cautious optimism is justified given progress on security guarantees, but the devil is in the details. Expect the Kremlin to delay & derail any progress towards peace because its maximalist goals in 🇺🇦 have not changed ⬇️

I spoke live on @skynewsrss.bsky.social about what to expect from the #Trump-#Putin meeting in #Alaska happening later today. Given the mercurial and erratic nature of Trump’s position, #Ukraine and its European allies are preparing to react to all possible scenarios. A thread 🧵

I was quoted by French media @liberation.fr in this piece on Friday’s #Trump-#Putin meeting: ‘Putin is trying to present himself as a bona fide negotiator—which he is not—and to curry favor with Trump by displaying false appreciation for the latter's peace mediation efforts’ 1/2

I spoke to @reuters.com about: ✔️ What Trump & Putin want ahead of Friday’s meeting; ✔️ European leaders’ balancing act between supporting Trump’s lead (as they remain reliant on 🇺🇸) & ensuring 🇺🇦 & 🇪🇺 are not sidelined; ✔️ What the Ukrainian constitution & public opinion say about territorial concessions

Amid speculations ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska that Ukrainian territory seized by Russia could be ceded as part of a peace deal, I spoke to @thetelegraph.bsky.social about how Zelenskyy's position is constrained by 🇺🇦 Constitution and public opinion - www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I spoke live on DWNews about: - What #Trump and #Putin are hoping to get in Alaska; - How European leaders are navigating the tension between supporting Trump’s lead (while they remain dependent on the US security umbrella) and ensuring #Ukraine & #Europe are not being sidelined in the process 1/2
