"peace" talks, elections, Zaluzhnyi ...all a distraction from the main question-what's the plan for actually stopping Russia? not "support for as long as it takes," but "stop the spread of this evil"?

Thanks to @DonArleth for invite to @TVPWorld_com!

As expected, we're getting loads of criticism for this editorial from foreigners that equate Zelenskyy with Ukraine

And loads of support from Ukrainians who are shocked beyond words by Zelenskyy's pal running a $100M scheme

We will support him through the war. But not his pals

Our editorial: It's time for Zelenskyy to choose Ukraine over reelection

Every catastrophic decision—delayed mobilization, protected corruption—traces to 1 thing: protecting his political future.

He must instead choose Ukraine's survival: https://t.co/LLedtPhpI5

Uncomfortable questions remain: did Zelenskyy know? How could he not have known?

Zelenskyy's power faces a test. Will he draw conclusions from the failed July attempt to shutter anti-corruption infrastructure?

Zelenskyy's pal Tymur Mindich was never supposed to be a big player. Yet NABU's tapes show him allegedly running $100M in kickbacks on nuclear protection contracts—while Russia bombed Ukraine's power grid.

This is a story about how power corrupts. And why institutions matter🧵

[Alya Shandra @AlyaShandra]

Mindich fled hours before searches—somebody tipped him off. He's in Israel and Austria now.

Ministers face dismissal motions. The surveillance worked. The protests worked. NABU survived.

Now comes the actual test: will courts convict? 👇

The Alaska summit was terrible for Ukraine, a stab in the back.

Most terribly, Trump U-turned on his secondary sanctions intention and demands Ukraine surrender is fortress belt to Russia. I don't envy Zelenskyy, who will face Trump Monday

We delve into the escalating scandal in Ukraine surrounding President Zelenskyy's sudden and controversial anti-corruption law, which triggered massive protests. With Alya Shandra, the Editor in Chief at Euro Maidan Press. @AlyaShandra @EuromaidanPress - https://t.co/KyqazS0cek

In Alaska, genocide became “diplomacy.”

War crimes became “peace talks.”

Child-killers became “partners.”

Putin didn’t just get legitimacy in Alaska. He got proof the West has abandoned truth itself. Our @euromaidanpress editorial: https://t.co/WrOy1Oqkre

This is our editorial at @EuromaidanPress.
As editor-in-chief, I stand by every word.

Zelenskyy opens a second front — against his own people.

Not with tanks, but with laws. A decade of reforms undone in 72 hours.

-Is Russia at war with Europe?

Czech President Pavel:

-We divide history into peace, crisis, and war; Russia doesn't do that. It sees history as a continuous conflict where only means & intensity changes.

They are in a kind of war with Western democracies. #GLOBSEC2025

[Alya Shandra @AlyaShandra]

By 2032, EU will spend 3.5% on defense, up from current 2%, President Pavel says at #globsec2025

That will be the main good news at upcoming NATO Forum. All Ukraine-related decisions have been watered down due to US position

[Alya Shandra @AlyaShandra]

Now JPMorgan risks forcing this scenario onto Ukraine by creating investor pessimism that is grounded mainly in trust in Russia's power projection. It's irresponsible both towards Ukraine and investors.

[Alya Shandra @AlyaShandra]

Euromaidan Press vs. the world's No. 1 bank - challenge accepted ✅

I have seen many reactions, many emotions, but few balanced analysis that would present a convincing case against JPMorgan betting on Ukraine going down Georgia or Belarus' path.

But here's the real problem: these prognoses by Western financial institutions can become self-fulfilling prophecies, just like the West's disbelief that Ukraine stands a chance denied us the weapons we needed at the start of Russia's aggression.
