Those who stand with dictators, enable genocide and dismiss justice for victims - deserve death. This is not as much about punishment, but simply because such people are irredeemable and dangerous to humanity. #UkrainianView #Ukraine

On March 18, 2014, a russian sniper in Crimea killed the first Ukrainian serviceman in this war — Serhiy Kokurin. At the time russia claimed no russian troops were in Crimea, insisting it was all so-called "local self-defense forces." Eleven years later russia continues to kill our best people.

With USAID funds blocked and VOA silenced, there is no more American "soft power" to disseminate truthful news and democratic values to parts of the world vulnerable to dictators, famine, disease, and drought. The void left by Trump will be filled by our adversaries. America first is America alone.

Why can't we allow russia to claim Crimea? Just a few thoughts 1️⃣ Allowing russia to fully annex Crimea would set a dangerous precedent, encouraging other nations with imperial ambitions to act similarly. It sends the message that "might makes right," leading to more aggression.

The protests aren’t slowing down—they’re spreading. City to city, town to town. People are outraged, and they’re making it known. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. But stay peaceful—don’t give Trump any excuse for violence or martial law.

So our SCOTUS gave presidents near total immunity for crimes committed in office. Who can possibly be surprised by the crime spree we are now experiencing after re-electing a CONVICTED FELON to the WH? How can our democracy survive if we are no longer a nation of laws?

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

Putin doesn't want peace, he wants perpetual war in Europe and more land grabs. The only way to stop his aggressive evil empire is with greater force. European countries will either unite and stop this cancer, or it will continue to grow westwards and bring chaos. #UkrainianView #DefendEurope

Since 2023, Ukraine has held iftar with Muslim service members, the President of Ukraine, diplomats, and religious leaders. As a Crimean Tatar, I’m glad to see our traditions honored at the state level. Ukraine upholds the rights and freedoms of its indigenous peoples, many of whom are Muslim.
