Last night Russia launched large scale missile strikes on civilian targets in Zaporizhzhya, killing Ukrainian civilians sleeping in their beds. If you take Vladimir Putin's theatrics in Moscow last week at face value, he would have considered these people Russian citizens.

Recently wrote my first piece for @RiddleRussia Looked at how likely #Ukraine is to offer Russian oligarchs #sanctions relief in return for help funding #reconstruction. Spoiler: it's not very likely. https://t.co/XBp0IS3Mh0

Lots of other things were discussed at the summit: from a sports competition for SCO members to a roadmap for increasing reserves of each other's national currencies. But these suggestions didn't make it into the Samarkand Declaration. 5/7

Partly as a result of 🇷🇺's actions in 🇺🇦, the "quiet rivalry" between 🇨🇳 and 🇷🇺 over influence in Central Asia seems to be going 🇨🇳's way, too. After 25 years of planning, a railway connecting 🇨🇳🇰🇬🇺🇿 will finally be built after 🇷🇺 withdrew its objections. 4/7
