(1/4): We’ve been talking about the @FO_Coalition lately, *the* place where countries who care about human rights online and proactively democratic tech gather to share info, compare approaches, and sync their responses to issues. More info here: atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
@FO_Coalition@CanadaFP@SecBlinken (4/4) We look forward to seeing the @FO_Coalition make progress towards these goals. The stronger the FOC, the greater its ability to ensure the internet, digital platforms, and tech proactively advance democracy and reinforce human rights.
Russia’s offensive on Ukraine's eastern and southern fronts have intensified as Ukraine prepares to receive tanks from allies. Meanwhile, pro-Kremlin sources are amplifying forged diplomatic letters targeting refugees.
As Ukrainian forces retreated from Soledar following weeks of battle, shelling across the Bakhmut-Donetsk axis intensified and hit several civilian residential areas. @DFRLab and others geolocated targeted infrastructure and a build up of Russian assets.
Fighting across the war’s southern front suggests Russian progression in several areas including Stepove, Polohy, and Kherson. These battles come as Ukraine prepares for a spring offensive of their own. english.elpais.com/international/…

@ONCD@CamilleSG46 (3/5): An evolving tech landscape means new threats and new opportunities. Robust workforce development provides a more diverse cross section of understanding and a stronger sense of security.
@krmaher@Connect_Fund@theGNI@pielemeier@UniLeiden@gap_the_mind If the FOC is to grow and function effectively, it is critical that members share common values and principles. Given how complex and ever-changing the environment in which the FOC operates is, @gap_the_mind argues, member states must be held accountable.
Russian forces targeted infrastructure in #Kyiv, #Odesa, #Vinnytsia, #Sumy, & #Zaporizhzhia. That same day, Ukrainian forces shot down 60 of 70+ Russian missiles. However, data suggests that Russia is not striking Ukraine w/ the same intensity as at the beginning of the invasion.
Earlier this week, several people were killed in explosions at two Russian military airfields. Russia accused Ukraine of using a drone to strike Russian targets hundreds of kilometers from the border. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
