The first Drone Deal with a country in the Americas will be with Canada. In Alberta, together with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, we looked at the drones that will be among the first to be used under this agreement. Canada is ready to place large orders, and 30% of the production will be transferred to Ukraine.
Of course, right now we need to find and scale up solutions to protect Ukraine from jet-powered “shaheds.” We are working on this and will share our developments and solutions with our partners.
We help those who help us. Thank you to Canada for a true partnership.

Evan fell in love with Russia—its language, the people he chatted with for hours in regional capitals, the punk bands he hung out with at Moscow dive bars. Now, espionage charges leave him facing a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years wsj.com/articles/wsj-reporte… #IStandwithEvan

I know the main concern is what an increasingly desperate Russia will do on the battlefield, but keep an eye on the domestic political stakes in Russia.

Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the Kremlin's 'newspaper of record,' is as stodgy as you might expect, but in light of the extraordinary Ukrainian successes in the past few days, it's instructive to see what it's telling Russians today (and what it's not). A short thread 1/

We address our work in progress on #transitionaljustice and efforts to #Defundthepolice, and also chat about how the IR, CP, and US politics subfields intersect.

Can reframing the slogan #DefundThePolice as *transitional justice* increase support for its proposed reforms?
