I don't feel competent to comment on what Ukraine needs to do, but David's post is still worth sharing as a cautionary tale.

It’s hard to be going through total exposure of who’s who in society. It’s hard to know that people closest to you also need guarantees and deadlines because they lack vision and discipline. You feel like the last one standing. Thankfully, though, there are thousands of “last…

Tornike Goshadze, a prisoner of conscience under the regime, says that when cops stormed his house, they seized the Georgian flag - yes, the national flag! - as "evidence" of his so-called crime, alongside his clothes. The national flag as evidence of the crime.
