Trump now claims he canceled the Russian sanctions because he didn't want Putin to stop negotiating a peace agreement. Putin has no interest in peace. He is too busy bombing hospitals, malls & apartment buildings. Trump’s legacy will be supporting the war criminal Putin.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

His peace process is as much a fiction as the energy ceasefire he announced last week to the surprise of Ukraine and Russia. Delusional. Russia has never been at the table for peace in Ukraine, only for a piece of Ukraine—and lucrative private deals for Trump Co.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Trump is so angry that Ukrainians won’t surrender and die quietly so he and his friends can make money with Putin.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.

Donald Trump: textbook traitor.

[AnatolijUkraine @AnatoliUkraine]

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:

“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.

But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?

I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”

Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

[William Crawley @williamcrawley]

I doubt that this is widely known by American voters.

[KenC @kencu_web]

@JohnWKowal1 Trump’s only play at this point is to give Americans someone to hate and blame for their perceived frustrations.

It’s the classic dictator playbook, frankly.

[JJ @JohnWKowal1]

So now Trump is telling his dumbass MAGAs that the US loses $90 billion a year so that Canada can have a healthcare system that Canadians don’t deserve. WTF??!! When does the daily 24/7 hit job on Canada get some pushback?? Are there NO intelligent Americans left?

[Aubrey Allegretti @breeallegretti]

Much punchier accusations from Sir Malcolm Rifkind - a former defence and foreign secretary:

"I choose my words very carefully. I think this week Donald Trump has shown himself as a person to be repulsive; as a President of the United States to be a disgrace to his own people as well as to his international responsibilities.

"We all know his actual reasons for this are a grubby attempt to win a few more votes in the midterms by trying to get oil prices down.

"In order to achieve that, he has not only betrayed Ukraine in the middle of a war, fighting for its very existence, but he is also directly - not indirectly - directly responsible for the deaths of many Ukrainians who will not now be protected by the attempts that have been successfully made using intelligence provided indirectly by the United States."

If one billionaire can shut off the internet for an entire country fighting for its survival, that billionaire has way too much fucking power.

⚡️ ZELENSKYY REVEALS WHAT HE TOLD TRUMP ABOUT STARLINK — AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT! 🇺🇦

ZELENSKYY: “I told Trump: If you enable Starlink access inside Russia, we can quickly destroy their ballistic missile launchers.”

“Putin would come to the negotiating table, and I wouldn’t need to destroy a single energy facility. But instead, they shut down Starlink. They didn’t expand coverage — they restricted it.”

Ukraine asked for the tools to stop Russian missiles. Instead, Zelenskyy says its capabilities were restricted. 🇺🇦

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

The order to disrupt Starshield which allowed Russia to kill numerous civilians in Ukraine came directly from the White House. 🤬 Trump is a traitor and a Russian asset. https://t.co/NFnE8ebT9A

[kyama @kyamawebb23]

So now the White House admits that it ordered Musk to shut off Starlink so the Russians could destroy and kill Ukrainians. They now are telling Ukraine to surrender. Trump is the traitor and a child murderer.

“Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes back home in three days as Janet, and they don’t even ask you.” — Donald Trump

How about we focus on “Your son Jimmy leaves for school and never comes home because he was killed in a school shooting.”

Because that’s what’s ACTUALLY fucking happening in American schools.

Cet homme a pris la décision d’enlever les quelques minutes qui permettaient jusqu’à présent aux enfants ukrainiens de se mettre à l’abris. Ils vont dorénavant mourir.

Cet homme sera jugé par l’histoire

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

The United States convinced Ukraine to willingly give up their nuclear weapons by promising to protect them from Russian aggression. Here we are, decades later, betraying their trust. Those who support Vladimir Putin are the enemies of freedom and democracy

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

Trump: we are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine.
The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine.
