❗️🚫 Ukraine has refused to create a $500 billion fund to compensate the U.S. for military aid, — Bloomberg. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Washington demanded that this condition become part of the agreement on resources. Kyiv refused, arguing that the real amount of aid from the U.S. is about $90 billion, not $500 billion.

Hi All, just sent out my weekend update (free as always). The only way to understand the USA and its interactions with Russia, Ukraine and Europe is to accept that the US is now a mafia state. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

🇺🇦🇺🇸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.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

Weaponizing commercial U.S. tech companies is a great way to ensure that every allied government is going to begin reconsidering all contracts awarded to U.S. companies.

Trump announced for the first time the actual figures of US aid to Ukraine: America provided $67 billion in military aid and $31.5 billion in direct budget support. So the total amount of US aid to Ukraine is less than $100 billion, and not $350 billion, as Trump previously stated.

It may well be that Trump’s plan has all along been to broker an unacceptably bad deal, so that when Ukraine rejects it with Europe’s support, Trump can say Europe rejected peace and wash his hands off the war and Europe. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is Ukraine’s continued existence.
