‼️BREAKING: The Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913) HAS PASSED — 226 in favor, 195 against. 18 republicans supported the bill! The bill received more than the simple majority required for passage in the House, once again demonstrating that a majority of the U.S. Congress supports continued aid to Ukraine. It is the first Ukraine aid bill to pass the House since the new administration took office. The legislation strengthens Ukraine’s defense, tightens sanctions on Russia, and supports efforts to return abducted Ukrainian children. But, as always, this is not the end. The bill must now pass the Senate and be signed by President Trump. At this point, both remain significant challenges.


”Last year almost 500 000 Russian tourists were let into Europe, while Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield. This situation needs to be stopped. That is why we, together with 10 other Member States, have put forward an initiative for new EU visa restrictions for Russian citizens.” @JohanForssell at JHA

The Piłsudski–Petlura alliance is often portrayed in Polish historical narratives as a “brotherly cooperation of nations against Bolshevism.” In reality, for many Ukrainians it was above all an example of the Second Polish Republic instrumentally using the Ukrainian struggle for independence for its own geopolitical goals. Petlura agreed to major territorial concessions to Poland in exchange for promises of support for an independent Ukrainian state. Ukrainians fought side by side with Polish forces against the Bolsheviks and also helped defend Poland itself during the 1920 war. But once the strategic situation changed, Poland abandoned its ally. The Treaty of Riga in 1921 became a symbol of betrayal for many Ukrainians — Poland reached an agreement with the Bolsheviks over the heads of Ukrainians and accepted the partition of Ukrainian lands. Soldiers of the Ukrainian People’s Republic were later interned by the Polish authorities and placed in camps, despite previously fighting together against the Red Army. Perhaps the bitterest part is that some Ukrainian units continued fighting the Bolsheviks even after they had effectively been abandoned by the Polish state. The history of the Piłsudski–Petlura alliance therefore reflects not only a shared struggle against Moscow, but also the harsh geopolitical logic of the Second Polish Republic: Ukraine mattered to Poland only as long as it served Polish strategic interests. #History #Ukraine #Poland
