I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Spent my Saturday analysing the 28-point plan. The result: If the US is seriously considering enforcing this plan, it would place itself in violation of: • 13 binding treaties and international instruments • 23 political commitments, declarations, and authoritative

1/ The Kyiv Independent is reporting that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff is "running a shadow operation inside the White House in an effort to sideline pro-Ukraine officials", cutting out Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in an effort supported by Vice President J.D. Vance. ⬇️

🚨 The #Moscow Times just dropped a bombshell: Russia’s Central Bank found a 10 trillion ruble black hole in unpaid loans 💥 That’s 24% of the entire Russian budget just… gone. Another reason why the #Kremlin is desperately pushing for a “peace” deal to save itself. We didn’t

Meet the Ukrainian peace plan.

It's almost like everything we've been saying for 10 years about Russia building a global troll farm archipelago to install Trump and rip apart American society was true.

Russia controls 50% of all MAGA accounts. And Putin personally controls Trump.

Moscow is turning into a war zone.

The President continues to ignore that it is Russia who invaded Ukraine & bombing cities every night. Putin ordered this invasion. Why the moral confusion? The war started before Trump’s first term. I’ve heard President Zelenskyy thank America many times for our military aid.

1 Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2 Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3 Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4 Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim Russian policy 2025

The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion. From the very first minutes of February 24, Putin has been waging

Everyone is offering support, giving advice, providing information — and I am grateful to each and every person who is giving this help to us, to Ukraine. It is important to ensure that the steps to end the war are effective, and that everything is doable. Ukraine has never

Time to throw this thug out of any European institutions. He is a traitor to Europe.

Finally, Republicans are challenging Trump's groveling and pathetic fealty toward the Russian dictator. "Forcing Ukraine to give up land is absurd, and decisions about the size of the army are made only by the Ukrainian leadership. Any concessions to the dictator are

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy." - U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff This should send shivers down the spine of Republican and Democratic members of Congress alike. It's a 'perspective' not capable of negotiating for true U.S. interests.

Kurt Schlichter Two points you need to understand: 1. Putin cant launch his larger scale war without first mobilizing Ukraine’s massive resources, strategic location and surviving population. In EVERY area of Ukraine that Russians have managed to occupy, all men are forced into the Russian army

This is insane. Putin is a bad guy. He kills innocent Ukrainians every night. He started the largest war in Europe since World War II for no reason. He has killed his political opponents. Diplomats have to engage with dictators but they don’t have to check their values at the

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

It’s called the russian invasion of Ukraine, not a "mess in Ukraine." Thank you. You dont "clean it" by pressuring the victim to surrender, you must pressure the aggressor to stop.

1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in. It’s darker than that. Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline. A thread 🧵
