🇺🇦🇺🇸The U.S. demanding Ukraine—victim of a genocidal invasion—to "repay" military aid, even with its rare earth minerals, is obscene. Where’s the talk of Russia paying for its war crimes? Where’s the talk of Russia leaving Ukraine? This hypocrisy is rewarding aggression while punishing the invaded.

So far, Hesgeth says US policy is surrender to Russian aggression, selling out Ukraine and US interests for nothing. They don’t even make a case for one of those quid pro quos Trump is fond of. What is the US, or Trump, getting from Russia after these gifts? Certainly not peace.
