The Trump administration has announced that it seeks to close ⁦US Agency for Global Media⁩, which runs ⁦Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty⁩, ⁦Voice of America⁩, ⁦Radio Free Asia⁩, and more. Reform is reasonable. What gain from mere destruction of US assets? usagm.gov/who-we-are/mis…

Some of the best journalism from Eastern Europe comes from RFERL. We are all going to be less informed if this goes through. Hundreds of local language journalists, the best in their fields, will be lost to the profession forever.

Russians agreed in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty if Ukraine removed the nukes it inherited from USSR. Putin grossly violated this when he annexed Crimea & later the invasion. We can’t trust Putin. Ukraine needs security guarantees from the West.

Russian state TV is celebrating the silencing of Voice of America and RFERL, sending independent journalists best wishes: 'Die, animals. You're lying, nasty, deplorable traitors. Die in a ditch." Listen to this. Thanks Julia Davis for the subs.

Today's Palm Sunday attack by Russian forces on civilian targets in Sumy crosses any line of decency. There are scores of civilian dead and wounded. As a former military leader, I understand targeting and this is wrong. It is why President Trump is working hard to end this war.

I’m glad General George Washington didn’t say “let’s surrender because Great Britain is too powerful and defeating them is unlikely.” But, that is what some of our leaders are saying to Ukraine, the victim of a Russian invasion. Surrendering to a tyrant is not peace.

If Ukrainians wanted to capitulate, they could do it without Trump's help. But I very much doubt that they want to, and I'm pretty sure they will find ways not to.

Emotions have run high today. But it is good that 5 countries met to bring peace closer. Ukraine, the USA, the UK, France and Germany. The sides expressed their views and respectfully received each other’s positions. It’s important that each side was not just a participant but

Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals? 1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international

Last night, after failed peace talks, Putin ordered a massive assault on civilians across Ukraine. This was not a military action. It was mass murder. Ukraine is fighting for its country, for its future, for its survival. Putin doesn’t want peace. He’s stalled every negotiation

🧵1/ Ukraine’s Drone Wall is Ready for Russia’s Spring Offensive As Russia launches its spring offensive, Ukrainian soldiers are confident their drones will give the invaders hell (including the soldiers on crutches). A new kind of warfare - low-cost, high-impact, a drone wall.

IVE SEEN ENOUGH KILLING OF INNOCENT UKRAINIAN women + children. President Trump pls put the toughest of sanctions on Putin. U ought to c from clear evidence that he is playing America as a patsy

In an iconic Vatican setting. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God" Matthew 5:9 ⁦President Donald J. Trump⁩

Russia again pounded the Ukrainian capital overnight, first with ballistic missiles, then a swarm of drones that could be heard buzzing over central Kyiv. 2 civilians were killed when a drone exploded in the top floor of an apartment building just half a mile from the US Embassy.

Повернувшись до Києва, перш за все я думаю про українців. Понад три роки ви чините опір із вражаючою мужністю. За свою землю. За свою свободу. За Європу. Адже саме тут вирішується безпека нашого континенту.

A comprehensive (air, land, sea, infrastructure) cease fire for 30 days will start the process for ending the largest and longest war in Europe since World War II. As President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly said, stop the killing-now.

To the Deputy Chair of the Russian Security Council: you invaded your neighbor. You bomb your neighbor’s cities and murder their POWs. You’ve kidnapped nearly 20,000 Ukrainian kids. You’ve raped and pillaged areas you occupy. You suppress Evangelicals in occupied areas. You

Ukraine-Russia update: The Russians have lost 900,000 military members either killed or wounded. This is a war of choice by Putin who wants Ukraine to totally capitulate. The only way this war ends is if Putin stops the war and withdraws from Ukraine. All pressure should be on

Thank you to Pope Leo XIV for acknowledging the facts and condemning evil💙💛

White farmers have been murdered in South Africa. But those murders account for less than 1% of more than 27,000 annual murders nationwide. Experts said the deaths do not amount to genocide, and President Donald Trump misleads about land confiscation. (via PolitiFact)
