"Dispatches from Ukraine

AGNI was founded fifty years ago, in 1972, by a Ukrainian-American writer and a group of his fellow writers at Antioch College. During Askold Melnyczuk’s thirty years at the helm, he infused the magazine with an abiding commitment to the work of Ukrainian writers and translators. Now, in response to the Russian invasion—and with Askold’s coordinating help—we will publish Ukrainian dispatches as we receive them. His own response, delivered as a speech for UMass Boston, stands as a fitting introduction to these.

One of the most dangerous weapons used by Russia against Ukraine and the entire democratic world is propaganda based on lies. Culture—yes, the “great Russian culture”—has always been one of the tools of this propaganda. Many Russian writers and artists are its spokespersons today. Even when they are silent. Especially when they are silent.

Ukraine is currently under martial law—a status that renders everything abnormal. We are in a state of constant threat and distrust. We look attentively at everyone—especially those who come from the enemy’s side of the border and write in the official language of the aggressor state. We would like it to be different, but this is the situation today."...

2. Actually...

I think it's the other way around, pooty has done this before, long before -45.

I see it as -45 learned from his master and since he's been defrocked, pooty has to do his own dirty work.
