The U.S. has been the strongest supporter of Ukraine in its war with Russia. Yet with a series of blunt comments, President Trump now sounds more aligned with Russia than Ukraine.

Russia is the enemy! They invaded Ukraine. I stand with the Ukranian people! Trump is unfit to lead. Impeach him now! Besides he is a rapist and felon himself! Since Trump got involved in politics our country and world has suffered.
Trump is 100% aligned with Russia and has been since his first term. You're really blowing journalism here by acting like this is strange or confusing.
Trump has ALWAYS been aligned with Russia. We may never know all of the reasons. Russia owns Trump. Trump wasn't able to give Russia what they wanted during his first term, but he is more than making up for that during the second time around. We have turned our backs on our allies, making us weaker.
Traitor to a 75 year alliance. Ho Hum, we knew he's a Russian assets all along. Kash, Tulsi and even the despicable prick Tucker will share some borscht later. Who voted for this?
Blaming Ukraine for starting the war is analogous to blaming a rape victim for what she was wearing. According to them Ukraine asked for it because of her slutty dress.
Trump is Putins cock holster. Remember the GOP loves he-man Putin.
They licked the soles of Putins shoes since Obama.
Imagine Trump helping Putin.
Now face reality, he is helping Putin.
Europe payed 57%. If USA end support Europe will pay 100%
If nobody supports Ukraine they will loose and Russia start another war soon. Europe will be attacked all over and will be unable to support USA against anything.
In the end China, Russia and Iran will win. And what will happen to USA then?
This I believe will be a rude awakening for trump,Zelinsky is making sure his bases are as covered as he possibly can. I like his alliance with Turkey 🇹🇷
The "deal" trump is offering is that the US gets half of Ukraine's rare earth minerals, and Russia gets the other half when we abandon President Zelinsky to Putin.
"Listen, Boss! When I get reelected, you can have whatever you want. Ukraine, NATO, a ridiculous trade war, definitely a stock market crash. Whatever you want..."
Is Mr.President thinking of joining Russian Federation UNDER Putin's governance either, making USA a Russian State?? Then he may be Vice President of Putin which he seems so eager to hug with such devotion!
1.) Who didn't see this coming from 11,000 miles away? Honestly.
2.) If you didn't see this coming, you might also be shocked to learn that terrorists attacked and destroyed the Twin Towers in NYC in 2001.
On July 16, 2018 in Helsinki, Trump stated his fealty to Putin while standing beside him. Trump stated he took Putin's word over that of US intelligence agencies.
Trump has reiterated this statement after Putin attacked Ukraine. Trump on Team Putin is not new.
He is aligned with Russia. He proved that in his first term. I don't know what the big mystery is here. It's plain to see Putin invaded Ukraine and he's trying to change the narrative to the less informed and to his sheep.
No, you have not been the biggest supports, I am so tired of this lie. The EU has, and per gdp Denmark has given more than 10 times the amount the US has. Do your research ffs.
Appalling, disgraceful, disgusting. Apparently now we betray our allies rather than help them defend themselves against tyranny and aggression. I am ashamed at what we have become. Glory to the hearts and the courage of the Ukrainian people.
Blaming Ukraine for the war because they did not make a deal with Russia is the equivalent of giving the person standing on the sidewalk your big screen to stop them from breaking in.
Trump is terrible at negotiation. His leaked plan to strip mine Ukraine backfired, so he switched to Putin.
I hope you’re right. It’s absolutely treason. Right out in the open for everyone to see. (Which of course makes me think there’s probably much more behind the scenes that we don’t know about. Secret deals and such. It will come out eventually).
The Kennedy thing never came out. I know I know, no I'm not one of those crazy conspiracists. But I don't really believe that what we've been told is the whole story.
"Blunt comments"? BALD-FACED LIES. Shame on you, NPR. The whole world is calling out Trump's lies. Is this what you're going to do for the duration? And hope people make excuses for you because you're "scared of being defunded"? Muster a shred of courage or pack it in.
@npr.org please do better with your headlines! This headline fails to mention the President’s blatant lies about who started the war and frankly makes his unhinged comments from yesterday sound normal. Please don’t normalize his wildly unpresidential words and behaviors.
He is owned by Putin. How loud do we have to shout and how many reports have to go unread for NPR to be so mealy-mouthed. The USA belongs to Putin now.
Trump was in Putin's back pocket all along. Lets call this what it IS. Betrayal.
The Betrayer In Chief Trump. Worse than Benedict Arnold. Congratulations MAGA supporters, you have helped destroy democracy in the U.S. ... and back-stabbed our allies.

Commenting online feels like doing something, but the most impactful thing we can do is call our congressman. The 5 calls app has excellent scripts for everything happening now (stop president musk/constitutional crisis is my favorite). Take meaningful action! Make a call! https://5calls.org/
Who invaded Who, here?
I miss the old, hawkish GOP who considered Russia their mortal enemies. Now, they cower while Trump proves himself as a Russian operative.
"And it is very important not to give in, to be together. It is very important to support those who defend freedom."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
He’s always been aligned to Putin’s views.Trump is the autocrat, the dictator when Zelensky is a hero standing by his people in front of a violent illegal invasion by Russia.
??? Why are you reporting on this like it's new? We've always known trump loans his mouth to Uncle Clad as a cock holster. For the last 3 years he's opposed aid to Ukraine. Not only was this a expected outcome he campaigned on this. Why are you reporting on it as if it was unexpected?
I asked chatGPT how often Trump visited Russia. It said this.
Connection to Donald Trump
In 2013, Agalarov played a key role in bringing the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow
He & his son, Emin Agalarov, worked on a business deal with Trump to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, but it never materialized
He was later linked to the 2016 Trump Tower meeting, where his associate, Rob Goldstone, helped arrange a meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Of course, he has Jarod with Saudis, GAZA development and eastern EU projects for the family, Russia keeps their only Year-round port, Licensing deals in China. We foot all the bills for his gain, and we suspend the FCPA enforcement. And let's treat Ukraine to some good ole fashion colonist activity
EDIT: (1) "The preceding US administration has been the strongest supporter of Ukraine..." (2) "President Trump and his cabinet are aligned with Russia".
There is no doubt about it, trump and all his republican supporters are 100% aligned with Russia.
I would gladly be proven wrong, but evidence so far backs up my statement.
Who’s surprised? He likes to ride the winning horses, and he believes Putin is the best bet, at the moment. Any major setbacks for Russia and he’ll flip. Time for the EU to step in to make that happen. That is fully supporting Ukraine in ensuring continued Russian setbacks.
You should put that in a pot like the melting pot cause that's a crock.... anyone who believes that hasn't been reading the news US is an ally of Russia right now not of the Ukraine
Gotta be more since everyone knows about that. I'm thinking major financial stake. Since Putin controls the Russian treasury, he could pretty much spend money as he wishes. Oh wait .... 😳
Trump is a traitor. You can’t do this shit without betraying what your country believed in. Americans need to step up, and prove this is not America, it’s just republicans
All Trump wants is a property in Moscow. Zelensky should say yes to anything Trump wants and offer development opportunities in Kiev and Odrssa. Then do nothing. Trump evaluate are do incompetent nothing will ever happen. And sn agreement made under duress is not legally binding.

JFC he tried to extort them and tried to broker a deal WITH Russia.

Jesus H Christ enough with the garbage

He is surrendering a European democracy to Putin without Ukraine’s consent. Trump is a Kremlin disinformation mouthpiece now.

How about a NEW political party? Emphasis on…

How many millions, billions does a person need to be ok? Greed is a disease!
EDUCATING THE MASSES
Free education for teachers willing to work in deep south/red states.
FREE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!!!!
If…
NO MORE DISINFORMATION/MISINFORMATION
Right wing propaganda machine can not be allowed to call its self news!
NO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
All politicians allowed equal media time and access for campaigns.
EVERYONE IS EQUAL UNDER THE LAW!
Regardless of skin…
What would you add/change?
Who knew?!

"We have always been at war with Ukraine"
Way to go out on a limb there as Trump echoes Russian propaganda and tries to shake down Zelenskyy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
I think, you have to call the USA now "Russian oversea territory of America" and its Governer is Donald Trump.

Trump has cast his lot with Putin. He has to, since Vlad is his boss.

trump’s aligned with Russia always
Stop pretending this is a surprise.
We all know what Trump is, and your feigned shock makes you complicit in the death of America.

Trump: "Ukraine are liars and cheats and its president is a fake-ass tyrant and dictator that started an unprovoked war."
NPR: "Trump sounds more aligned with Russia than Ukraine."
Bravo.
