  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 13 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 14 hours ago
  • Nazar Voloshin
    Nazar Voloshin “The situation in the Kharkiv sector remains complicated but is evolving in a dynamic manner. Our defence forces have partially stabilised the situation. The advance of the enemy in certain zones and localities has been halted.” 19 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “The situation in the Kharkiv region is generally under control, and our soldiers are inflicting significant losses on the occupier. However, the area remains extremely difficult.” 19 hours ago

“These were opaque elections. We didn't have direct video feeds like we had during the [2018] presidential election and the last federal elections. And we have seen what serious obstacles election monitors have been facing.”

“Ten years ago, a truly massive election observer cadre appeared on the scene. Around five years ago, Russian nonprofits and politicians learned to fundraise to such an extent that an entire class of civil society, not just a handful of organizations, could survive. 2019 saw the first mass protests against denied candidate registrations, not just in the aftermath of rigged elections. Now the state is starting to lose its monopoly of the media space, coercion is becoming ineffective, support from previously loyal electorates is fading out, and new politicians are replacing those who were jailed or forced to emigrate. The toughened election laws thus appear to be the regime's attempt to roll back the oncoming tide of public dissatisfaction.”

“There are accusations from election observers, from Russian opposition members who speak of massive irregularities. These must be taken seriously and should be clarified.”

“What we have seen in the run-up to these elections was an atmosphere of intimidation of all the critical independent voices. There was no international independent observation … but independent local observers were reporting a lot of irregularities during these elections.”

“The opposition now has more tools at its disposal, like Smart Voting. But the state does too, and it's using them against the press and independent journalists.”

“Removing the Navalny app from stores [Google and Apple] is a shameful act of political censorship. Russia's authoritarian government and propaganda will be thrilled.”

“It is the Russian regime, rather than the public, which needs the elections. They serve to validate the regime's legality and legitimacy, and also keep the so-called majority relatively mobilized. The Kremlin will get what it wanted: the Duma as an institute of support for a political system that is entering a stage not of transition, but effectively another reset in 2024.”
