Calls for "peace" in Ukraine sound noble, but without deterrence, or accountability, they risk legitimizing aggression & prolonging war. @ThornikeGord examines how "cheap peace" rhetoric erases the aggressor/victim distinction & weakens Western resolve.

"What external actors can do, however, is help to maintain a democratic space for political actors, civil society, and the media, just enough to keep resisting authoritarian ascent until change becomes possible." writes @sergikap.

Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations Andrii Melnyk:
"Our territory and our sovereignty are not for sale. We’re not at a Christmas bazaar. We’re not at the infamous Cherkizovsky Market. Russia wants Ukraine to capitulate, as we just heard. Russia wants us to surrender. But my reply to you is this: you’ll get nothing but the hole of a bagel - not Ukraine." - @MelnykAndrij

For the friends of #Georgia, who are just voicing concerns over the country's dictatorial turn, I have one thing to say - impose as painful sanctions as you can on the oligarch, his mignon MPs who passed 15 authoritarian laws and the business and media enablers. Words don't count – at Georgia
Georgian Dream just announced that they plan to constitutionally ban all opposition parties.
Add to this declaring all CSOs as foreign agents and new media laws and you have a manual how a Russian oligarch has turned once a democratic state into a captured oligarchic dictatorship.
