The Russian military arrested Olga Gaisumova, one of the main coordinators of daily protests in Melitopol. Her Facebook page literally writes:
"The occupiers kidnapped Olga Gaisumova just from the peace rally!"

In yet another blatant attempt to weaken or destroy the country’s independent anti-corruption infrastructure, the Ukrainian parliament is likely to pass legislative amendments that could destroy the country’s post-Maidan anti-corruption architecture. A 🧵
Any discussions about setbacks have to begin with recognizing the immense progress Ukraine made to curb (top level) corruption since 2014. Otherwise, RU trolls or ignorant people might distort the developments. Our 2023 analysis reflects the gains. /1

First off, yesterday, we saw the largest attacks on the NABU since it was created in 2015. The charges are flimsy and experts, activists and the EU & G7 called out the 🇺🇦 authorities for this attacks. Some more details by @ChristopherJM /2

Very busy talks today in Berlin on a serious topic: 🇺🇦 civil society is facing an existential crisis. The abrupt halt of U.S. assistance in February 2025 has dealt a devastating blow to the organizations that have been the backbone of 🇺🇦 resilience and democratic reforms. A 🧵 Image

🧵 1/9 On that topic, the German-Ukrainian Bureau just published a policy brief (link below), which we presented and discussed today in Berlin with experts and decision makers. The key notion is: the situation is dramatic, and the key ask: Germany and the EU have to step up. Image
3/9 📊 The numbers are staggering: Since Russia's invasion, USAID alone provided $37.6 billion to Ukraine. In 2024, the U.S. supported 17 major projects worth $340 million - funding think tanks, human rights orgs, independent media, and anti-corruption initiatives.

. @shashj is right: the transcript of the Tucker Carlson interview with Steve Witkoff worth analyzing… What stands out to me is how much he empathizes with Putin and how much he parrots the RU position. That simply doesn’t make a good negotiating strategy. /1
Few examples: Witkoff praises the recent progress and seems to be unaware of previous negotiation efforts in Qatar in the summer of 2024, where both sides already were reportedly close to a moratorium on energy infrastructure strikes. See:

/2 washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/…Image
This part wasn’t new but it’s cringe 😬 they don’t seem to grasp the RU flattery as a serious strategy to influence and ultimately woe the Witkoff and Trump… /3 Image

The CDU and SPD, the two German parties currently negotiating their new coalition, have ushered in a fiscal revolution that will allow Germany to spend "whatever is needed" on defense and boost infrastructure spending, too. That's a bid deal. Here is what you need to know: /1
Why now? The parties agreed to amend the constitution with the old convocation of the parliament BEFORE the next Bundestag comes into session in about two weeks. They do it because the new convocation, the political forces from the left and right could simply block this move. /2
What's in the deal?
In short: unlimited debt for rearmament and plenty of money for infrastructure.
The amendments foresee a reform of the constitutionally mandated debt break to allow the government to take debt for spending above 1% of the GDP. /3

Fresh polling shows that 67% of Germans back 🇩🇪’s military support for Ukraine. Within this group, 27% favor increasing military aid to Kyiv, while 40% believe 🇩🇪should maintain its current level of support. Only 27% of respondents called for a reduction in weapons deliveries. /1 Image
The poll also shows that a majority of Germans would be in favor of the Bundeswehr participating with other European troops in securing a possible ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. 59% of Germans are in favor of Bundeswehr involvement and 35% are against it. /2
There are differences between East and West: while the majority of West 🇩🇪 are in favor of 🇩🇪 participation (61%), only 45% of East 🇩🇪 are in favor of this. In contrast, 50% of East 🇩🇪 oppose a Bundeswehr involvement in a possible European mission to secure a ceasefire (50%). /3

Umfrageergebnisse einer Bevölkerungsbefragung des Zentrum für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr zeigen, dass die Wahrnehmung der Bedrohung durch RU und die Unterstützung für die militärische Unterstützung der 🇺🇦 leicht gestiegen ist.

Mini 🧵 /1 Image
Daraus kann die Politik entweder einen Angst- oder Unterwerfungswahlkampf oder einen Case machen, warum die Freiheit verteidigt werden muss und wir dafür mehr ausgeben müssen… /2 Image
Die Ergebnisse zeigen mir, dass die Politik besser erklären sollte, warum die Unterstützung der 🇺🇦 in unserem Interesse ist und auch eine Investition in unsere eigene Sicherheit darstellt. Fast alle Parteien machen diesen Case bisher nicht (gut genug). /3 Image
