(re)searching agency & dialectic forms. Ukraine, post-Sov, Europe, state/society/capital complex, human-nature dialectic. Political Economist @GPERC_UOG @CPERN

Joined March 2014
In this lecture & at @FESonline event ahead of #URC2024 I raised vital issues: UA needs a new social contract, human & nature centered recovery, exercise of Constitutional rights & guarantees inc ownership of land & natural resources by the UA people, not foreigner entities.
Building on historicized political economy of wartime Ukraine since 2014, @YPYurchenko's lecture illustrated that the state as an institution must be redefined. Watch one of this week's most popular IWM YouTube videos here: youtube.com/live/Zdf6AViJSNk…

If you keep appeasing psychopaths & treat their unhinged claims as if they are legitimate, instead of punishing this rhetoric & threats harsh and outright, you're going to get such demands. Congratulations.
⚡️ Russia aims to use Ukraine peace negotiations to push NATO back to its 1997 borders, according to The Telegraph. Diplomatic sources say Moscow wants European nations at the table to demand NATO clear out troops and equipment from countries along Russia's border.

We celebrate Lula's re-election not because Lula is a friend of Ukraine - he clearly isn't - but as a victory against the far right, against authoritarianism and against Trump. Sending warm greetings to left-wing and labour movement forces in Brazil that have stood with Ukraine

Ukrainian left activist and soldier Ihor Tokovenko on the deeply anti-worker health and safety reforms the Rada has just passed - with a call for Zelensky to veto! facebook.com/share/p/1FBgnt8… The Rada is also considering a deeply anti-worker and anti-union new Labour Code.

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump is responsible. Hint, they both are!
The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not coming. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day. All of this is happening while we continue our quite successful operations on the front. We keep defending positions. Things have become harder – partly because of the Starlink and Starshield policies and speed limits. But our frontline is still holding and I am proud of how strong our people are. From an address at the Hudson Institute. (2/3)

⚡️US lawmakers demand answers from Elon Musk over Ukraine Starlink restrictions. In a public letter, Democratic Senators and Representatives listed five questions concerning Starlink restrictions impacting Ukrainian forces, addressed to Musk. The lawmakers gave Musk until October 31 to answer their questions. kyivindependent.com/us-lawma…

During my recent visit to a POW camp in western Ukraine, one of the prisoners told me the number of Arabic-speaking captives had risen by 30% over the past twelve months. Alongside General Biletsky’s claim that one in three prisoners now captured is not from Russia, it shows how heavily Moscow is relying on foreign recruits to sustain its invasion?
The incredible moment Ukrainian special forces were surprised to capture a group of African migrants on the frontlines forced by Russia to fight in Ukraine.

Those in Ukraine who *actually* oppose its self-enriching and corrupt elites support the country's war of defence 100pc. What Elon Musks dislikes about Ukraine is not its elites (obviously), but its refusal to bow down before Russian imperialism + all Russia's capitalist allies.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Додому з російського полону повернулися 270 українських військових Більшість із них були в полоні ще з 2022 року. Також вдалося обміняти пʼятьох військових, яких вважали загиблими під час теракту в Оленівці. «Додому повертаються нацгвардійці, зокрема воїни Азова, прикордонники, тероборонівці, воїни Військово-Морських Сил, Сухопутних військ, Десантно-штурмових військ, Державної спеціальної служби транспорту, а також девʼять цивільних», — повідомив Зеленський

The amazing work @BackAndAlive have done helping Ukraine protect itself from Russian attack drones is epic.
Кожен восьмий дрон 👀 Сьогодні Міністерство оборони України прозвітувало, що за 2026 рік Сили оборони збили 408 тисяч ворожих безпілотників. 50 405 із них — робота екіпажів «Дронопаду». Кожен восьмий дрон збивається військовими, яким ми з вами допомагаємо 🫶 Пишаємося нашими колегами, які понад два роки тому побачили потенціал в «дроновій ППО» та за цей час розбудували цілу екосистему з сотнею підрозділів, десятками тисяч уражень та мільярдами зібраних гривень. Це — титанічна праця та колосальний вплив на війну. І тут є ваші дві гривні. Дякуємо військовим за захист, а благодійникам за підтримку. «Дронопад» продовжується 🔥

While putin obsessively babbles about “historic 🇷🇺 lands” and “generic studies” proving that 🇺🇦 has no right to separate existence, his apologist in the West try to present him as a sensible leader with “legitimate security concerns”. Wake up already!
Putin on Ukraine: Even now, we are ready to negotiate and seek solutions to this difficult, complicated situation, in the sense that they are a people very close to us, you understand? What can I say? Recent genetic studies show that, in fact, we are one people.

Plohy’s article has far more citations than pro-Kremlin and consistently wrong Mearsheimer’s. And perhaps if we were to read though those citations, many of them would be to call out his hubris. People are appropriately referring to the work of the actual expert.
