What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.
The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.
21 ballistic missiles. 12 Ukrainian regions attacked. 34 injured, including 5 children. 2 dead.
These are the figures reported by Ukraine’s president following another round of peace talks.
Yet Washington is expected to negotiate with Moscow as if this were business as usual?
Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
@ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇸🇺🇦 As an American, I believe Ukraine should surrender NOT ONE INCH of its sovereign territory
In 1994, America pledged to respect Ukraine’s borders. That commitment should still mean something
Peace cannot mean rewarding Russia for invading its neighbor. Ukraine deserves 100%
If Russia can invade a neighbor, seize territory and eventually receive international recognition for that conquest, what precedent does that establish?
I believe Ukraine should remain whole.
Not 99%.
100%.
Do you agree? Why or why not? 🇺🇸🇺🇦
1991: We recognized Ukraine.
1994: We provided security assurances.
2008: We strengthened our partnership.
2021: We reaffirmed Ukraine's borders.
I believe America should stand behind those commitments.
Not abandon them because Russia refuses to respect them.
