Even Washington's most seasoned Kremlin watchers don't see a way to reach a modus vivendi with Vladimir Putin's new, militarized, West-hating Russia. wapo.st/3MV4juA


Confronted by Putin's militarized Russia, the West can't see a way forward. Top experts, some longtime backers of dialogue w/ Moscow, now call for a new containment. Don't miss closing chapter of "Russia, Remastered" by @RobynDixon__ & @michaelbirnbaum wapo.st/3XQfI4W


Crucial chapter in The Washington Post "Russia Remastered" series by @FrancescaEbel & team explores how wartime Russian youth are self-dividing into conformers and outcasts. Putin wants Russia’s youth to become ultranationalist patriots. Many are all in. wapo.st/4guJZO1


Honored to see a copy of “The Dissident” as part of memorial for Navalny in Berlin. Six months since he was killed in prison. His friend Ilya Yashin, just released in swap, easily could have met same fate. Demanding democracy / freedom is not a crime or treason. Dictatorship is.

My latest story from Kirov, Russia: In this city, people say Russia must defeat Ukraine and the West, whatever the cost. Full thread on how we did this reporting -- washingtonpost.com/world/2024/07/…


After WaPo reported how US restrictions put key Russian air bases out of firing range, Zelensky said: “That is why modern air defense systems…F-16s and, most importantly, the sufficient range of our weapons are truly necessary” ⁦@siobhan_ogradywashingtonpost.com/world/2024/06/…
