Liev Schreiber urged a crowd of D.C. lawmakers, ambassadors and media figures for continued support for Ukrainians as the one-year anniversary nears of Russia’s attempted invasion.
The occasion was UnSanctioned, an event at the French ambassador’s residence that brought together those who have been sanctioned by Vladimir Putin’s regime to support the humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
The list, as Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova noted, is long. The sanctioned guests at the Friday evening event included Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, State Department Spokesman Ned Price, Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-pa), Rep. Rick Larsen (D-wa), Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Co), Rep. Rick Larsen (D-wa), Rep. Susan Wild (D-pa), Susan Glasser, Bianna Golodryga and Craig Kennedy.

Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova told a gathering of Washington politicos and media types that the Russian invasion has been a “game changer” in which “the freedom of press and freedom of expression and the freedom of speech suddenly became an existential need.”
She was speaking at a fundraiser on Thursday for Reporters Without Borders, which is raising money for journalists, including Ukrainian journalists and international freelancers, who need such things as security equipment and health assistance as they cover the war in Ukraine.
Markarova said of the journalists covering the war, “Really you are as brave and as heroic as all the Ukrainians as all the Ukrainians who are fighting. It takes a lot of courage and it takes a lot of values and principles to leave your comfortable life here. There are a lot of stories to choose from. But we’re very grateful to everyone who chooses this story,...

Broadcast and cable networks have news teams in place in Ukraine as attention focuses on the possibility of an invasion, perhaps as soon as this week.
President Joe Biden will deliver remarks on the situation at the White House on Tuesday.
While Russian President Vladimir Putin said that they were continuing to negotiate, and there were claims of a pullback for some troops, there also were reports of skepticism among NATO allies.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that the U.S. was “temporarily relocating” Embassy operations in Kyiv to Lviv “due to the dramatic acceleration in the buildup of Russian forces.”
In addition to having teams in Washington focused on the escalating crisis, networks have correspondents on the ground in Ukraine, in some cases adding reporters. CNN’s Erin Burnett anchored her show, Erin Burnett OutFront, from Lviv on Monday.

The U.S. Park Police claimed Tuesday that its officers acted to clear protesters from Lafayette Square near the White House because some demonstrators were throwing projectiles at them, but journalists who were on the scene say that they did not see such conduct.
The Park Police statement came in response to widespread criticism that they used flash grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas to clear peaceful demonstrators. Once the area was secured, President Donald Trump walked from the White House for about a block across Lafayette Park to St. John’s Church, where he held a Bible in a photo op.

Donald Trump vowed to quell unrest across the country and even deploy the military on U.S. soil, in an extraordinary hour on Monday evening that started with an exertion of presidential power and ended with a photo op.
“I am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters,” Trump said in a brief statement from the Rose Garden.
Moments before Trump gave his speech, law enforcement officers dispersed hundreds of demonstrators who were peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd at the intersection of 16th & H, just on the edge of Lafayette Square Park near the White House. Authorities used tear gas and flash bangs to vacate the area, and the crowd scrambled to get out of the way of flanks of officers in riot gear and others on horseback.
Trump said he would invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to mobilize the military to...

Washington correspondent Jim Scuitto will join CNN’s daytime lineup, working with Poppy Harlow as co-anchor of the network’s two-hour mid-morning “CNN Newsroom.”
CNN expects Sciutto to bring his experience covering the intelligence community, foreign policy, and the Department of Defense to the New York-based program. Sciutto will remain CNN’s chief national security correspondent and will continue to serve as a fill-in anchor for several of the network’s news programs.
The move adds a new element to a “Newsroom,” where Harlow has held forth since February of 2017. Sciutto would appear to be stepping into a role previously held by John Berman, who recently moved to anchor CNN’s “New Day” opposite Alisyn Camerota. Harlow will continue to anchor and cover major breaking news stories for the network and interview influential business and for her CNN podcast “BossFiles.”
Prior to joining CNN, Sciutto served as ABC News’ senior foreign correspondent,...
