Alexei @navalny fought for the values of freedom and democracy. For his ideals, he made the ultimate sacrifice.
The EU holds the Russian regime for sole responsible for this tragic death.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family. And to those who fight for democracy around the world in the darkest conditions.
Fighters die. But the fight for #freedom never ends.

5 other former US ambassadors to #Ukraine and I take strong exception to many points in Thomas Graham's piece on Ukraine and #EU. @CFR_org declined to run our response, which has now been published by The Bulwark: plus.thebulwark.com/p/ukrain…

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ukraine constantly improves its democratically elected insitutions, strengthens the rule of law+the protection of minorities+successfully fights against corruption, as confirmed by EU+COE as well as scientific research. eeas.europa.eu/delegations/uk…

This is something the Biden administration should actively support. This would be far more impactful than a few more countries hitting 2%. It could be a huge deliverable for the Washington Summit. But it probably only happens with US prodding.

Here is my latest for @WashPost on Germany‘s Zeitenwende, looking towards the other once restraint country in the East: Japan 🇯🇵 👇 Berlin needs less infighting and hesitation — less “Scholzing” and more of Japan’s resolve. @CFR_org washingtonpost.com/opinions/… A thread 🧵 (1/7)

Scoop: US **and Germany** will send armored vehicles to Ukraine, a significant upgrade in firepower urgently sought by @ZelenskyyUa.
