The beginning of Russia’s mass nationalization program begins today with a law passed allowing Russia to seize all 500 foreign owned airplanes in the country worth $10 billion. Many more expropriations will happen in Russia soon.

There is one big difference between how Ukrainians and many well-wishing Westerners view the ending of Russia's war. Many in the West hope for peace, whatever the terms of it. Ukrainians know peace is only possible if Ukraine wins. Help us defeat Putin, don't appease him!
Anna Dimitrova retweeted
Have said forever that Putin has 2 obsessions. One to reinstate Soviet territorial loss and bring countries into Russia’s sphere of influence and the other is to challenge NATO because he doesn’t believe they would invoke article 5. Why I keep saying this is bigger than Ukraine

How to defeat Putin?
Many recognise the importance of coercive measures against Russia and necessity to give it a way out
And yet, some presume that the way out should be given to Putin to force him to negotiate. That's a disastrous idea. There's no way he can roll back now🧵

If Apple and Google notify all the smartphones in the world about the constant Russian shelling of Ukraine, all the people would force their governments to close the sky over Ukraine because of war horrors.

This is absolutely genius! Please take a couple of minutes to watch it. You’ll be glad you did.
Buckle up. Come on a tour of London with a difference and find out how Putin's oligarchs hide and spend their money in the capital. Money-laundering expert @OliverBullough is your guide. 💰

We are youth climate activists in #Ukraine and we are scared. The war is escalating by the hour we don't know what will happen next. We make it short:
We need you to be there for us. We are calling on Fridays for Future to protest globally, this Thursday, for an end of this war!

Let me introduce you to Roman Abramovych, Russian oligarch known as “Putin’s wallet”, owner of the “Chelsea” football club.
For some reason he was not sanctioned by UK.
It’s a time to correct this mistake.
Right, @BorisJohnson?

One of the questions raised by Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine: What led him to this point? Some answers can be found in his past. It’s something we examined in our 2017 film “Putin’s Revenge.” 🧵 (1/18) to.pbs.org/3tm6Wv1

.@BenjaminHett raises a point about what happens when tyrants like Hitler start losing:
"They become more brutal and repressive. Dictators are psychologically fragile: They need adulation and a sense of mastery, and they cannot tolerate loss." latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

The European Parliament is set to officially throw its support behind making Ukraine an official candidate for membership of the European Union. Its backing by all the main groups means it is certain to pass when it goes to the floor on March 1 — @Independent
