Stevenson’s army, April 14

The Pulitzer Prizes for 2021 will be announced May 9. Already I’m seeing excellent reporting that might win a year from now.

– WSJ today has two big stories — how NATO training has helped Ukraine and increased intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

– A Politico newsletter says Jake Sullivan has recruited a “nest of China hawks” at NSC.

– Wired tells how hackers have disclosed details about Russians.

– Tom Friedman has a good interview with John Arquilla.

– Russia’s Black Sea flagship has been damaged and evacuated.

– Politico reports complaints about yesterday’s Human Rights report.

– Marine Le Pen wants to reduce French role in NATO, questions aid to Ukraine.

– Russia warns against Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
