This is the group - to a large extent a bunch of outcasts - that the 🇺🇸 of Trump managed to mobilize in the 🇺🇳 to vote against 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇧🇯🇵.

[Anders Adlercreutz @adleande]

The EU sticks to its values. This war has only one aggressor.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Russia, Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea, Nicaragua, Palau and...the United States

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump’s numbers on US & European aid to Ukraine are completely fabricated — Europe has given more to Ukraine and the US hasn’t reached anywhere near $350 billion.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Look at our new "friends" -- some of the countries that voted against the UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine: U.S., Russia, Hungary, Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Nicaragua.

So shameful.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

Look at the 16 other countries that joined 🇷🇺🇺🇸 and voted against the 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇧 resolution condemning the 🇷🇺 aggression! What a list! Is that the way the world now looks?

Myrskyisä päivä YK:n yleiskokouksessa. Ukrainan ja useimpien Euroopan maiden (myös Suomi) päätöslauselmaehdotus liittyen Ukrainan sotaan hyväksyttiin.

Venäjä äänesti tietysti vastaan.

Mutta tällä kertaa Venäjän seurana vastaan äänesti myös Yhdysvallat.

What Russia does in Ukraine is an attempted geopolitical rape. There’s something wrong with your soul if you stand with the rapist or remain neutral.

Choosing a side in this war is a matter of decency, not geopolitics.

Today and tomorrow we stand with the people of Ukraine, who have made an unimaginable sacrifice for the peace, democracy and future of Europe. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

President Trump 🇺🇸 doesn’t want to describe this as aggression. Almost everyone else would.

“With all due respect, we do not recognize Ukraine’s $500 billion debt to the US” — Zelensky

“I do not recognize even $100 billion. We agreed with Biden that this was a grant! A grant is not a debt.”

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

How will this end?

[Timo R. Stewart @TimoStewart]

The Ukrainian government has apparently now gone too far in resisting Russia going too far.

Imagine that, resisting invasion too much.

[Lauri Heikkinen @Lauritopias]

@front_ukrainian Yes✅

[Valtioneuvosto | Statsrådet @valtioneuvosto]

Valtioneuvosto osoittaa tukeaan Ukrainalle liputtamalla Suomen ja Ukrainan lipuilla ma 24.2. Merikasarmi valaistaan Ukrainan lipun värein. 🇫🇮🇺🇦

Liputus alkaa klo 8 ja jatkuu Senaatintorilla kello 20 saakka, jolloin torilla järjestettävä Valoa Ukrainaan -tilaisuus päättyy.

Musk: "What are Ukrainians dying for? What exactly are they dying for?"

Their homes.

Their freedom.

Their autonomy.

Their prosperity.

Their speech.

Their future.

What are you fighting for, @elonmusk?

More money, power, and racist jokes on X?

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Trump's favorite newspaper, the New York Post, which is also one of the US president's most loyal supporters, published a cover picture of the Kremlin idiot with the headline "This is a dictator." The main page also lists ten facts about the Russian attack on Ukraine.

This material is a direct appeal to Trump.

The facts themselves:

▪️Putler started the war and there is no rational reason that could justify this aggression.

▪️The Russian Federation invaded a neighboring country to conquer it.

▪️Ukraine is fighting for its independence. And the vast majority of Ukrainians do not want to be part of Russia.

▪️Ukrainians and Russians are not "one and the same" as the Huylo would have us believe. Ukrainians and Russians are two separate ethnic groups that speak different languages ​​and have different histories.

▪️Putin is a dictator who has ruled the swamp kingdom since he came to power in 1999 and has all the other signs of a dictatorship (no free elections, lack of free media, imprisonment for dissent, etc.).

▪️Zelensky is not a dictator. He won in a fair election. There is independent media in Ukraine. Ukrainians openly criticize the state leadership's war-mongering. And the fact that no elections were held is not an argument.

▪️American aid to Ukraine was not in vain. Yes, there is corruption in Ukraine, but that does not mean that the people and the country's sovereignty should not be protected. A truly corrupt russia is a huge kleptocracy led by Putin and a small cartel of oligarchs who are among the richest peoples in the world, while the Soviet people are incredibly poor.

Yllättävän monet ovat edelleen valmiita vääntämään itsensä solmuun tulkitakseen Trumpin puheet parhain päin.

Ei, hän ei pelaa mitään 3D shakkia. Ei, hän ei ilmaise itseään epäselvästi. Ei, tämä ei ole joku nerokas neuvottelutaktiikka. Ja ei, syy ei ole mediassa.
