Putin tells Trump X, Trump believes X and uses it to bully the Ukrainians. But note the Ukrainians got him to back away from this position, calling only for a ceasefire along the current frontline. They are dealing with a child. ft.com/content/7960c6…

Russia will "destroy" Ukraine. It's been fighting for more than ten years to take Donetsk.

Alright, I guess it falls to me -- just an ordinary guy from Ukrainian Donbas -- to explain a few obvious things to a New York real-estate developer who seems to care a lot more about the “commercial opportunities” being dangled in front of him by Putin and his mob fixer Kirill

The lyrics may change, but the song remains the same. Putin makes demands and Trump obediently repeats them without making any demands or concessions from Russia. Putin has been trying to destroy Ukraine for years and has failed. The only way to end the war is Ukrainian victory.

Does this idiot not realize this is exact justification used by Nazi Germany to seize Austria, Sudetenland, Danzig, and Alsace-Lorraine? “Common blood belongs in a common Reich. The boundaries of a state are not determined by the treaties of diplomats, but by the extent of

Trump arguing that’s it’s a ‘special military operation’ and not a war really drives home the influence Putin has here. That’s not a stance you would hear from a single US military or intelligence official.

Not "even a war," but a "special operation" in which so many people are dying on both sides every day, it's just sickening to Trump, who wants peace in places he's never been and can't find on maps he's tired of looking at. This is fundamentally unserious. Statecraft by brain

As I wrote in Winter Is Coming in 2015, failure by the West to defend Ukraine as promised would lead to nuclear proliferation. If the US umbrella is a sham, everyone under threat will feel obligated to have their own.

Ukraine's Zelensky has clearly grown annoyed with Steve Witkoff, who continues to view the war as some sort of real estate transaction and repeatedly pushes Kremlin talking points such a the Donbas has Russian speakers so it should belong to Russia. Recently he pushed Zelensky to

They've yet again rejected the position Donald Trump has publicly espoused.
