Proud of my former colleagues in @Europarl_EN. @RenewEurope are right: now is the time for Europe, all of free Europe, to act. EU and UK must act in concert in support of Ukraine. @ALDEParty @LibDems

You are not alone, @ZelenskyyUa, the aggressor and the victim should never be confused.

We are with you 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Now is time for Europe to act.

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.

While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.

Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.

As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.

America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.

Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.

America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

The President of the United States has announced, with obvious pride, that he phoned Vladimir Putin and asked him for fuel. He calls it a great success. It is the richest country on earth going cap in hand to the man who bombs Ukrainian cities every night, because diesel became expensive before an election.

For four years Europe paid more for its energy, housed millions of refugees and emptied its arsenals so that Putin would not be rewarded. Washington has now concluded that all of it matters less than a cheaper tank for a truck in Ohio, and has told Ukraine to stop hitting the refineries that pay for the war.

This used to be the country others measured themselves against. Its remaining admirers are in Moscow and Pyongyang, and it has become exactly the kind of shithole it used to sneer at.

@BenjaminTuron @HankDesmondPhD You’re right to call out shameful suggestions that Trump should be above criticism but that’s not why you ditched GIII who was subject to rampant public criticism, as was the actual govt of Lord North. PS George VI was adored as a wartime King who defied the Nazi blitzkrieg. IV?

[Cllr Martin Horwood 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇿🇦 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 @MartinChelt]

@HankDesmondPhD Dear Dr Desmond, democracies look stronger when they show that free speech is alive and well and no leader is above public criticism. Specifically, criticism of your current President reassures a horrified world that you’re not all mesmerised by a stupid hate-filled demagogue.

So proud of @LibDems courageous sister party @yabloko for trying for so long to keep the flickering windswept flame of multi-party democracy alive in Russia. As Vaclav Havel said, keep trying to live in truth.

@GuntherEagleman This is completely insane. Oman is an ally of the west that was actually trying to help this blundering psychopath. Someone, the Republican Party, anyone sane left in the administration, the Senate, VP Vance, someone, anyone, needs to start the process to remove him from office.

@MauriceRijnders @Rusia_HD Muslim invaders?! I think the chance of that happening has receded quite a lot since the Battle of Tours in 732. Risk of extremist Christians from the USA invading some part of European territory rather higher right now.

News of Ann Widdecombe’s murder is awful. We clashed in two parliaments & disagreed on Brexit, religion & more. But I also recall fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Soc when she generously bought some pretty unkind cartoons of herself we’d struggled to auction. Real heart there. RIP
