    Correct . The idea of convoys to protect outbound grain shipments and certain imports coming into Ukrainian Black Sea ports is gaining traction -- as it should. Similar to "Operation Earnest Will" convoys of the 1980s, in which I participated.

    .⁦⁩ suggested protecting these ships with escorts in order to deliver commodities. “Baerbock said some 25mn tonnes of grain were stuck in Ukrainian ports that were being blockaded by Russian forces — ‘grain that the world urgently needs’.”

    More fallout: “India had been filling the export supply gap in the international wheat markets left by Ukraine after the Russian invasion, but concerns had heightened about export restrictions amid a heatwave which has hit the country since March.”

    Zelensky: “As president, I’m ready to talk with Putin. But only with him. Without any of his intermediaries. And on the terms of dialogue, not on the terms of ultimatums.” He says the starting point for discussions should be complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.

    Did Scholz ask Zelensky if he wants this? Serious question, because a ceasefire without Russian withdrawal looks like it would, at this time, favour Russia and I have a hard time believing it's what Ukraine wants.

    Three points from my long phone call with today: There must be a ceasefire in as quickly as possible. The claim that Nazis are in power there is false. And I also reminded him about Russia’s responsibility for the global food situation.

    The U.K. government sanctioned Alina Kabaeva, a Russian retired Olympic rhythmic gymnast, citing her alleged close relationship to Vladimir Putin. Also sanc­tioned: Ms. Kabae­va’s grand­mother and Mr. Putin’s ex-wife, and his cousin, Ro­man Putin.

    It’s one thing for Putin to sell the narrative that the West would have sanctioned Russia anyway, invasion or no invasion (which he has been saying to the Russian public even before February 24th). No way he can make that same argument about Finland and Sweden joining NATO.

    “Sweden joining Nato would lower the risk of Russian attack and stabilise the entire Nordic-Baltic region, according to a cross-party report that paves the way for the Scandinavian country to apply for membership next week.” -

    Well look at that. As Ukraine is exhausting it’s old Soviet weapons and getting new, Western supplies, “The bite of Western sanctions seems to have forced Moscow to begin dusting off Soviet-era defense stocks and use munitions that are less accurate”

    Just a stunning turn of events given that nearly 200k Russian troops surrounded Ukraine in early Feb. "Russia’s only way of striking deep into Ukraine is via expensive cruise missiles launched from Russia, Belarus or ships in the Black and Caspian seas."
