The New York Times published Kremlin lies about Kursk, written by a Moscow journalist claiming residents were being massacred.
Yet when I was in Kursk, I filmed children playing in the streets & locals given aid.
The NYT whitewashed the Holodomor & glorified Hitlers rise so this is nothing new for the paper
We are allowing our press to be infiltrated by Russian propaganda & it’s vital to be informed and check sources
I also spoke to @Tomthescribe who was in Kursk - who echoed my above statements
Russia: Witkoff went alone to a Kremlin meeting with Putin in April.
Russian intelligence officer pretended to have been sent from the US Embassy and proceeded to serve as Witkoff's translator during the meeting.
Trump's approach to Russia is an enormous mistake for the U.S.. This will be one of the biggest policy reversals in American history. It will have serious national security ramifications. And yet, Trump says he doesn't really care about the war, he just wants it off his plate.
These missile strikes against Ukrainian civilians are a big "F U" to the Administration's efforts. They only respect strength. The Kremlin has zero respect for this Administration.
Putin is flexing his dominance over Trump, knowing there won’t be any consequences. Trump pretending to be annoyed on Twitter only makes it more obvious. Any Republican legislators unhappy with a Russian dictator setting American foreign policy?
Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies.
@DisrespectedThe You can say even more. If you start at noon and spend 5-6 hours in the air, when you land it will be evening. Try to explain that roundearthers ;)
