If I were a US citizen I would be ashamed of my government's incompetence, ignorance and mendacity...

This is likely preparation to claim most of Ukrainian weapons are "Russian" and should be "returned" to Russia as part of the surrender deal.

Steven Pifer, former US Ambassador to Ukraine who helped negotiate the Budapest Memorandum, wrote that the warheads were "ex-Soviet, not Russian."

Under the memorandum, Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the signatories, including Russia.

Let's be very clear abou this: Grenell is not 'wrong', he is lying. Like everything that sprouts from the #WhiteHouse these days is either a lie or propaganda.

I wonder how long before Ukraine and other states start producing nuclear weapons, this is not maybe but when it will happen
