My interview for @IWPR with Ukraine Nobel Peace Laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina on the need for a human dimension in peace talks after 11 years of war crimes. And what still gives her hope. #StandWithUkraine #Zelensky #SupportUkraine.

My Atlantic piece on Georgia's demonstrators continuing struggle-amid continuing violent assault- for democracy & Europe. Hybrid governments use the tools of democracy to consolidate control and deny freedom. #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests #GeorgiaEU.

From my Tbilisi trip, my interview with @GakhariaGiorgi, former PM, now chairman of For Georgia opposition party. The movement is vibrant, he says, but time is short, and the West must step up. #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests #Conflict #Democracy.

Spent some days in Tbilisi. Protestors pack Rustaveli Ave by parliament at night; by morning the govt scrubs it away, painting over the graffiti. Then it happens all over again. #GeorgiaProtests #StandWithGeorgia #DemocracyInGeorgia

Demonstrators hold up photos of beaten protesters to security services at Georgian Parliament. They shout, Russians! Slaves! #georgia #georgiandemonstrations

Tense Tbilisi. Diputed ‘de facto’ govt appoints unknown footballer president. Crowds protest. Police numbers rise. A festive occasion is a dangerous flashpoint. Catcalls greet every stage preparation. The mayor lights the tree soon. Surreal Xmas. #georgia #georgiademonstrations

High-stakes day in Tbilisi: The Georgian Dream appoints a footballer as president, and the party mayor stages a potential flashpoint public lighting of the Christmas tree at Parliament. To kick the day off, some have a kick-about. Hope for peace. #georgia  #georgiademonstrations

Friday night demo in Tbilisi. Mood is light, music great. Risk is real and the stakes are existential. #georgia #georgiademonstrations #tbilisiprotests #georgianprotests

Off to Tbilisi. Citizens are demonstrating for peace, development and Europe, standing against invasion and autocracy. IWPR champions local voices, ensuring they are heard. I'll be proud to stand with them. #GeorgiaProtests; #GeorgiaEU; #StandWithGeorgia.

We will continue to be horrified by Russian attacks on civilians and civilian locations - and Ukrainians will continue to suffer - until adequate support is provided to enable Ukraine to defeat the invasion. #UkraineRussiaWar️️ #Ohmatdyt #NATOSummit .

Ukrainians know that democracy is worth fighting for; have we forgotten? As an antidote to our cynical, consumer democracy, let’s take a lesson, let’s get some Ukraine mojo! #UkraineRussiaWar️️ #democracy .

The grassroots upsurge is young, largely female, horizontally organized, tech-savvy, and mostly volunteer-run.

From travels with Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk, we wanted this podcast to convey not only her message but the personal side - stolen moments, reflections, some of the human side of a public figure. #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar @avalaina .

Visiting frontline towns underlines the devastation in lives and property - and the ever-present uncertainty. The people of Lyman don’t know if the worst is over or - absent US military aid - still to come. #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #Russia

Amid fierce international debate over the war and Ukraine's prospects, soldiers on the eastern front just get on with it every day, defending their people and their land. Geography is critical. Here's what it's like in the forests. #UkraineWar #Russia.
