The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not a total war as we were accustomed to seeing in the past century when two nations clashed. It is a new kind of war—a war of the late capitalist age. My article for @jacobin jacobin.com/2024/12/ukrain…

Zelensky is clearly stalling for time, hoping that the protests will fizzle out. He says they are listening to people’s complaints and that next week there will be an “in-depth working meeting” on the functioning of the anti-corruption agencies

Today, we had a substantive meeting with the G7 ambassadors focused on one of the most important areas – anti-corruption policy. The Ukrainian Government is fully committed to zero tolerance for corruption. This principle will be clearly reflected in the government action plan.…

Oggi seconda giornata di manifestazioni a Kyiv, ancora più partecipata di ieri. Per capire cosa sta succedendo in Ucraina, leggete qui 👇

Zelensky in clearly damage control mode offered the protestors a revision of anticorruption law for next week. Difficult to say if it’s going to be enough. Here people are still coming to join the rally

Protest in Kyiv already looking much bigger than yesterday

New rally against the crackdown on anti corruption agencies already started in Kyiv

Telling that, according to @ChristopherJM — a journalist with good contacts inside Ukraine’s power circles — President Macron called Zelensky yesterday, tried to stop the anti-anticorruption law, and failed. Even though it is shouldering by far the largest cost of the war in…

Incredible. Zelensky's handpicked prosecutor general, Ruslan Kravchenko, said he did not ask to increase his powers and take over control of NABU and SAPO. He learned it was happening from the Telegram channel of Holos party MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak. pravda.com.ua/news/2025/07/2…

🇺🇦Riassunto come sempre onesto, misurato e impeccabile da parte di Davide. Gli eventi di Kyiv, questa protesta di dimensioni mai viste dall'inizio della guerra, segnano una crescente centralizzazione del potere da parte di Zelensky, con un controllo sempre più pervasivo da parte…

Male. 🇺🇦👇

Sono stati tre giorni incredibili in Ucraina. Zelensky ha lanciato un attacco senza precedenti alle istituzioni e all'attivismo anticorruzione e il pubblico ucraino ha risposto con le prime proteste contro il governo dall'inizio dell'invasione. Che succede ora?👇🧵

Zelensky's former foreign minister, referencing the words of Ukraine's world champion boxer and occasional philosopher Oleksandr Usyk, and building on them: "Don't push the horses. They kick back." "донт пуш зе хорсес... зей кік бек."

Un’ottima ricostruzione di quello che sta succedendo Ucraina:

L’Ucraina rischia una svolta autoritaria? Se ne parla oggi nel podcast quotidiano di Internazionale, “Il Mondo”, con @DM_Deluca. internazionale.it/podcast/ilmond…

After putting some thoughts in order, I think it's going to be very difficult for the protestors to force Zelensky to walk back on his anti-anticorruption law. Yesterday, Ukraine’s civil society showed itself to be strong and vital, but street protests alone are not going to be…
