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.

#RussianWarReport🇷🇺 🧵👇 atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
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/…

At #360StratCom, we welcomed @krmaher, @Connect_Fund's Jochai Ben-Avie, @theGNI's @pielemeier and @UniLeiden's @gap_the_mind to discuss the Freedom Online Coalition (FOC) and how it can best be leveraged to advance a proactively democratic digital world. 🧵atlanticcouncil.org/content-series…
@krmaher @Connect_Fund @theGNI @pielemeier @UniLeiden @gap_the_mind For the FOC to reach its greatest potential, it needs to articulate the connections between pluralistic, open societies and a secure, interoperable, free, and open internet. @krmaher explains:
@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…
