What a surprise - Putin rejects an unconditional ceasefire. He wants to keep bombing and killing innocent Ukrainians. He wants Ukraine disarmed. He wants Ukraine neutralised. He wants to make Ukraine a vassal state of Russia. He isn’t negotiating. He’s laughing at us.
In 2013, Ukraine was neutral:
🔹 60% of Ukrainians opposed NATO membership, and NATO wasn’t interested in accepting.
🔹 82% had a positive view of Russia
🔹 Only 6,000 troops were combat-ready
🔹 Euromaidan was about the EU, not NATO - even pro-Russian Yanukovych saw Russia’s limits
No 'NATO expansion threat'. No anti-Russian sentiment. Yet in 2014, Russia invaded, annexed Crimea, and started the war in Donbas.
It was never about NATO—it was about control.
Historical photos you've (probably) never seen before.🧵
1. On August 23, 1989, about 2 million people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania formed a 600 km long human chain that united all 3 countries to show the world their desire to leave the Soviet Union and Communism.

So, Putin made Witkoff wait humiliatingly in the reception room for eight hours, just so he could have yet another "urgent" meeting with Lukashenko—once again spending hours chuckling at his clownery in front of the cameras.
And this, despite Witkoff coming for a pre-arranged meeting on matters of war and peace.
Then, he sent Trump's special envoy home with a deliberately impossible list of demands, designed to be nothing but an insult.
I don't get it -- how many more times does Putin need to wipe his feet on America—how much more blatantly—before the Trump administration finally admits that he is not their friend and that there was never going to be any easy or quick "deal"?
I hope JD Vance watches this video.
Yesterday, JD Vance complained that his 3-year-old daughter was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.” He even went so far as to call some of them “sh*t.”
The hypocrisy in his statement is staggering. His and Trump’s actions are directly leading to Ukrainian children being killed daily by russian missiles and drones. Now, what would you call a person like that?!
The girl in the video lost her leg due to a russian attack. Yet she continues to smile, she continues to live. She is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.
Trump's demands to Zelenskyy (the defender):
1) Formal apology
2) Give up the minerals
3) Hold elections even though Ukrainian law forbids it
4) Declare Russia as the non-aggressor
5) Give up all the temporarily occupied territories to Russia
Trump's demands to Putin (the aggressor):
Absolutely nothing.
This cannot be stressed enough - Trump is allied with Putin.
Latvia is so proud today. #Flow wins #Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film! This is the first Academy Award for 🇱🇻 film makers ever.
