Stevenson’s army, September 26

The papers are filled with impeachment stories. Enough already. There are a couple of detailed timelines on Ukraine, one from Lawfare and the other from Just Security.
The most interesting item for me is this from NBC News, describing the strange role of the part-time State Dept special envoy for Ukraine matters, named by Tillerson, whose lobby firm also works for Ukraine govt. He put Giuliani in touch with Zelensky’s aide. Weird arrangement.
Defense News has a good backgrounder on US military aid to Ukraine.
WSJ has scary article on how widespread drone capabilities are.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here.
