No Russia sympathizers: Ukraine eyes postwar elections as Moscow’s assault continues

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:41:41 GMT

BRUSSELS — Ukraine might still be at war, but it’s already gearing up for elections in peace time — and weighing how to deal with Russian infiltrators.Hundreds of miles from the battlefield, Ukrainian officials were in Brussels this week to discuss how to organize the country’s first postwar elections — which will be closely watched within the European Union — and in this sphere too, fear of Russian interference looms large.In an interview with POLITICO, Ukraine’s top election official Oleh Didenko said his country needed to prepare for the risk that Russia would try to “install their representatives, their agents, in Ukrainian authorities.”Ukraine was set to hold a parliamentary election in October, and a presidential election next year — but preparations for both of these have been put on hold because of the war.“I understand that Ukraine should ensure democratic standards when conducting postwar elections in terms of the rights of being elected...

How Austria became Putin’s Alpine Fortress

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:41:41 GMT

For Vienna, neutrality is simply good business.By MATTHEW KARNITSCHINGIllustration by Tim Bouckley for POLITICOIt didn’t occur to the Austrian chamber of commerce that hosting a cozy networking event on the outskirts of Moscow might raise eyebrows in some quarters.As record cold gripped the Russian capital in January, the local chapter saw an opportunity to pierce the ennui of the snowbound winter with “a sporty Austrian Business Circle in Moscow featuring cross-country skiing in Odintsovo, a park for culture, sport and relaxation.”Hoping to lure some of the hundreds of Austrian companies active in Russia and their business partners, the chamber even offered free equipment and instructors to help the uninitiated navigate the “snowy woods,” followed by a reception at a local watering hole.It was only after a reporter from the Austrian investigative platform ZackZack enquired about the event that the chamber nixed it.The failed Moscow outing exemplifies the ambivalent approach the Alp...

The future of Russia — and its opposition

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:41:41 GMT

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former political prisoner and CEO of Yukos Oil company, is the author of “The Russia Conundrum: How the West Fell for Putin’s Power Gambit — and How to Fix It.”At the initiative of Lithuanian MEP Andrius Kubilius and others, a two-day conference will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels this week, with the participation of over 200 representatives from Russia’s anti-war and opposition groups, journalists, prominent cultural figures, as well as European politicians.There are just two topics for discussion on the agenda: the future of Russia and the future strategy of the Russian opposition.Previous experience, both in Russia and elsewhere, has long shown that personality-based regimes — such as the one in Moscow today — can often implode without warning, unable to withstand the stresses caused by a failed war. And at that critical moment, the country’s future depends, in large part, on who picks up the reins of power — and how.Interestingly, the p...

It took Heston Kjerstad two years after he was drafted to make his professional debut. He needed less than one to reach the cusp of the majors.The Orioles are promoting Kjerstad, the second overall pick in the 2020 draft, from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk, a team source confirmed to The Baltimore Sun. The 24-year-old hit .310 with a .959 OPS for the Baysox.Kjerstad developed myocarditis, a heart condition, shortly after Baltimore unexpectedly took him with its top pick in 2020.

On June 10 — two years to the day after he was drafted — he made his professional debut with Low-A Delmarva.He largely hasn’t stopped hitting since. Kjerstad, a left-handed hitter who impressed the Orioles with his power at the University of Arkansas, hit .463 with a 1.201 OPS for the Shorebirds. He struggled with High-A Aberdeen, a level that has challenged many of Baltimo...
