- Foreign Policy (FP): Stop Falling for Russia’s Delusions of Perpetual Victory. The best sources on the war are the Ukrainians on the ground. By Mart Kuldkepp, associate professor of Scandinavian history and politics at University College London. 10.05.2022: “More than two months into the invasion, it is striking how little agency Ukrainians are habitually given in analyzing unfolding events. The realist (in reality, colonialist) understanding of Ukraine as a passive periphery, the fate of which must be inevitably decided by Russia and the West, has led to underestimations of the role of the Ukrainian armed forces, civil society, national and local governments, and, most of all, Ukraine’s strong will to resist.”
- Euromaidan Press: Hunting fascism in Ukraine, you overlooked fascism in Russia, by Hanna Hrytsenko, 05.05.2022: “In the witchhunt for fascism among fringe groups in Ukraine and especially in the campaign to find Nazis among the Azov Regiment, commentators have overlooked the emergence of genuine state fascism in Russia. This happened because Russian propaganda abuses political illiteracy to justify its military intervention into Ukraine since 2014. Its goal is to plant the seeds of distrust in Ukraine as broadly as possible. It was this message that was bought all over the world when exposing Ukrainian fringe groups with no actual influence or public support. But in fact, it is Russia that embraced the main principles of fascism and incorporated them into its official ideology.” Also see: CDI Dispatch No. 4.

- BBC: Ukraine war: Professor tells of elderly mother’s death in Mariupol. Prof. Andrei Kirilenko, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, UK. 29.04.2022 Also see by Andrei Kirilenko in The Globe and Mail: “The destruction of my hometown of Mariupol is something I can never forgive”, 20.04.2022: “… I last visited Mariupol in 2019. The city that had long been a corrupt industrial backwater was becoming a model of inclusive development and openness. A new IT hub was being built. An international festival of contemporary arts was being planned. The city’s football team was playing in the UEFA Europa League. Ukraine itself was quickly moving toward the EU, while Russia was quickly regressing back into the USSR. Ukrainians were traveling visa-free throughout Europe. Russians were building tanks, planes and rockets with the money they made by selling oil and gas to Europeans. In Ukraine, new presidential and parliamentary elections were coming. No one could predict their outcomes. In Russia, the same aging cult leader remained in power for nearly two decades. Ukrainian movies about the War of 2014 won awards at Cannes and Sundance. Russia was producing ever more movies about the Second World War. At the end of my visit, my mom asked me if war with Russia was imminent. I answered that I switched to speaking Ukrainian with her because speaking Russian is an open invitation for the Russians to invade. They view the use of their language as a precursor to invasion. If you do not want them to come and enforce their values, why do you speak their language? This makes any place where Russian is heard not safe. Any place. Starting with Mariupol. That’s why not only economic, but cultural ties with anything Russian must be severed. Otherwise, it’s an invitation for invasion. It is only a matter of time. It took Russians three more years after my last visit to amass enough armies to attack Mariupol again. This time they turned it into an apocalypse. They do not want any Ukrainians – whether Russian-speaking or not – to remain there. They do not want anyone there who can witness what it was like before they invaded and destroyed it. They want to sacrifice everyone. That includes hundreds of thousands of moms and their sons and daughters. That includes my mom. I will never forgive them for that.“

- A blueprint for the reconstruction of Ukraine, by Torbjörn Becker, Barry Eichengreen, Yuriy Gorodnichenko, Sergei Guriev, Simon Johnson, Tymofiy Mylovanov, Kenneth Rogoff, Beatrice Weder di Mauro, 07.04.2022: “The scale of destruction in Ukraine is already staggering. A new CEPR publication builds on prior experiences with reconstruction following both wars and natural disasters to outline some principles for the future reconstruction of Ukraine. Efforts should include putting the country on the path to EU accession; establishing a stand-alone EU-authorised agency with autonomy to coordinate and manage aid and reconstruction programmes; recognising that Ukraine must own its reconstruction; encouraging inflows of foreign capital and technology transfers; a focus on grants rather than loans; and rebuilding around the principle of a zero-carbon future.“

- Science I Business: EU to give €25M to consortium helping Ukrainian scholars at risk, 05.04.2022: “EU research and innovation commissioner Mariya Gabriel is to announce a €25 million direct aid package of Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) grants, to be managed by a consortium of ten research organisations, universities and NGOs, to help researchers from Ukraine….The €25 million for the MSCA4Ukraine fellowships will be awarded to a consortium of 10 organisations that built expertise in supporting scholars at risk through a MSCA coordination and support grant from the previous research programme, Horizon 2020. Now the emergency fund will enable the consortium to help researchers who are displaced from Ukraine to continue their research in EU member states or countries associated to Horizon Europe…. The Commission says it will skip the usual procedure of making the money available through a call for proposals, saying the group has expertise in dealing with researchers at risk and there is an exceptional emergency in Ukraine. The consortium includes Scholars at Risk Europe, Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, European University Association, Jagellonian University, University of Oslo, University of Gothenburg, French national PAUSE programme, the Dutch foundation for refugee students UAF, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and Scholz CTC GmbH.”
