Europe might not be able to offer Ukraine airtight security guarantees without the US, but we can take frozen assets, close the skies and bring Ukraine into the EU, if we want. That's how I interpret the words "stand with Ukraine", and I think Putin would start thinking twice.

Right now the 🇷🇺 war criminal is shelling Ukrainian cities with ballistic missiles. He wants tomorrow’s news filled with pictures of ruined homes and dead civilians - so that the world gives him what he wants. Is this how the 21 century will be? #StandWithUkraine

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted. 1/24
