UKRAINE: THE AWAKENING: My 20 years of witnessing Ukrainians rediscover their nationhood. a.co/d/a78OVGn

There is no natural end date to Russian aggression. If we want the war in Ukraine to end, we have to make it physically impossible for Putin to continue. Waiting for negotiations is just giving them time to reload. Force is the only language left

Bessent: “This administration put the hardest sanctions on Russia of any country.” In fact, endless sanction waivers for Russia rendered these “hardest sanctions” useless. And badly planned war in Iran allowed Russia to make money and use those funds to keep killing Ukrainians.

BROWDER: Lavrov called Rubio and threatened U.S. interests in Ukraine. Russia supplied information to Iran to target U.S. interests in Middle East. Truly astounding to watch how Trump administration dealing with Russia right now. That would have been red line under any other U.S. government, any political party, at any other time in history. I’m old enough to remember that if Russia made any kind of threat against U.S. interests, the U.S. would respond with most blistering, dangerous threats against Russian interests, and nobody would do anything about it. That's how Cold War and post-Cold War era functioned. Every American president, every Republican and every Democrat, took very strong line with Russia, and any nasty thing they did was met with most severe and aggressive reprimand.

@VolodyaTretyak Rubio comes off as stupid… but I think the truth is he is just simply unethical.

Ukraine: hits Russian industry and military infrastructure Russia: hits Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and apartment buildings Rubio: every time we see these big strikes, one side or another… blah blah There are no 2 equal sides 🤦🏻‍♂️

Europe is under attack and we still have political leaders acting like PR agents for the aggressor. They are a direct threat to our survival. We need to be ruthless in calling out these internal risks

Ukraine is using mid-range drones to kill the one thing Putin needs most: forward momentum. The Kremlin can absorb massive losses but it cannot survive total stagnation. Once the Russian army is frozen in place for a long period, the internal pressure will break the regime

KALLAS: There can be no legal recognition of the occupied Ukrainian territory. There must also be accountability. Russia should pay for destruction it has caused. Any peace agreement must fully accept Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and right to choose its own alliances.

🇪🇺 EU will demand that Russia limit its armed forces, — Kallas She also noted that the European Union will demand the withdrawal of Russian troops from Moldova, South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia.

Former VP Mike Pence: Look, I think the United States, along with our allies, needs to continue to give Ukraine the support they need to repel and defeat that Russian invasion.

@SenBlumenthal @BillMWBennett Thank you for your clear minded leadership Senator Blumenthal.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov says American diplomats should leave Ukraine—to avoid their blood thirsty bombs. In Ukraine now, I’m seeing firsthand brave American diplomats who refuse to be cowed by Russian bullying.

I love great news🙌 Ukrainian warriors are moving forward in Donetsk region 🇺🇦 Have a successful day, heroes 🫡

Russia wants us to discuss who talks to them, And they are already picking who is suitable for that. Let's not walk into that trap. Negotiations are always a team effort, with a defined strategy. That’s why the substance that we discuss today in Cyprus matters much more. My press remarks ahead of today’s meeting of EU Foreign Ministers ↓

Nur den russischen Botschafter einzubestellen, reicht als Maßnahme natürlich nicht aus. Putin lacht darüber. Was ist notwendig? - Alle 27 EU-Staaten beenden die diplomatischen Beziehungen mit Russland, und - weisen alle Diplomaten aus. - Lieferung Taurus. tagesschau.de/ausland/ukrain…

Please share if you agree

According to Russian sources, Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian defense lines south of Zaporizhia. We await further developments.

Lyman, Donetsk region. Russian terrorists claim they want to "liberate" it. As you can see, they mean liberate it from life itself.

@United24media It will certainly NOT because of anything Angela Merkel did or will do.

🤨 Angela Merkel: In 10 years, the Ukraine war is — hopefully over. And in such a way that Ukraine is an independent, free, sovereign country.

Russians are retreating under Ukrainian pressure. Ukrainian troops keep pushing them back in Donetsk oblast 🇺🇦 Fighting remains intense on the front line. Fingers crossed !

SEN. SHAHEEN: The war in Ukraine has real implications for America’s national security, because if Russia wins that war, it will give Putin license to invade a NATO country. It would empower Xi. It’s not good for our allies. We should support Ukraine and put pressure on Russia.
