    .⁦@ZelenskyyUa⁩ ⁩: “If Ukraine is to have a secure future, the Russian information barrier will have to be broken. Russians don’t just need access to facts; they need help understanding their own history, what they have done to their neighbors.” theatlantic.com/international/…

    Today, we remember the hundreds of thousands of brave Chinese students, workers, and citizens who stood up for freedom and aspirations for democracy—and the thousands of demonstrators who were brutally murdered in the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre and its aftermath.

    By this time next week, Finland and Sweden will formally seek NATO membership. They will bolster an alliance of free nations more determined to defend their democratic way of life after Putin’s attack on Ukraine.

    Ukraine is already at the epicenter of a hybrid war. Waiting for further Russian aggression misses the point that the coercion Kyiv faces today already crosses the line. Supporting Ukraine’s democracy and sovereignty is the best way to support the global cause of freedom.

    Fiona Hill so clearly explains the Russian threat to our democracy, and David Holmes so powerfully explains US interests in Ukraine. US strategy should reflect this clarity. Thanks to two colleagues for their strong voices.

    Our task is to rally the free world in support of a free Ukraine. Time for a Ukraine solidarity package of historic proportions to ensure this war becomes Putin’s folly. #StandWithUkraine
