The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/

To all Americans! You better act fast now and take back your country. Things are moving so fast that in a year Russia's control over the U.S. might be entrenched. You have precious little time to save your democracy, and your freedom.

It should be clear by now that Trump is blackmailing Zelensky to remove him from office. He is pursuing his own policy of regime change. Whether it just coincides, is coordinated or even directed by, Russia, I don’t know. But if he gets his way, www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u...

Many European soldiers fell in US-led wars that we agreed to largely because of solidarity towards America, rather than agreement with US strategic analysis or direct European interest. Add the civilian lives we lost from terrorist revenge attacks. America "owes" Europe "Billions and Billions".

If you want to stop World War Three, think what would have stopped World War Two. Occupation of the Ruhr. Anschluss with Austria. Annexation of Sudetenland. Hitler could have been stopped each time. But fear of war led to war. Don’t repeat the mistake. #SlavaUkraini

Trump and Vance were expecting thankfullness.... but for WHAT? Trump stopped help to Ukraine through USAID. Trump didn't announce any military package of his own. Aid deliveries continued that were already paid for (but not by Trump). Zelensky thanked America often. Back then. Before Trump.

So much for "Master Negotiator" Trump and his dealmaking: Trump has failed to make any progress in ending the war, while at the same time alienating the chief allies of the US. On top of that, he's failed to secure a minerals deal with Ukraine to "get back some of the US's money." Double failure.

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.
