    As a long-time admirer of democratic Germany, I have been deeply depressed and dismayed this week by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's refusal to allow German Leopard 2 tanks to be sent to Ukraine. [long bitty Twitter thread here but full post on timothygartonash.substack.com]

    Russian troops are to enter Donetsk & Luhansk as 'peacekeepers'. This is an invasion – Russian troops crossing Ukrainian frontier. Therefore full package of sanctions must be imposed now, including stopping #NordStream2

    Turning in with a deep sense of satisfaction at this Polish result, showing that a mobilised society can win even an unfair election… one of most encouraging developments in European politics for a long time… here young Poles who queued till after midnight to vote..

    It looks as if turnout (current estimate 73%) was higher even than in the historic election in 1989…

    It feels emotionally and morally unbearable to be sitting in comfort and safety while a major assault on Kyiv is about to begin tonight. We should have seen more clearly, done more, sooner, better. #StandWithUkraine
