Ukrainians keep showing enormous courage in defending their country against Putin’s immoral and indeed evil efforts to conquer a neighbor. They have resisted now for four years and eight months and we should do all we can to help them.
No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay.
The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.
This morning, I joined a bipartisan, bicameral call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where we heard an update on the war with Russia. President Zelensky emphasized the potential dire impact of both President Trump’s decision to waive sanctions on Russia and failure to meet Ukraine’s need for uninterrupted access to Starlink services and more Patriot interceptor missiles. We were all left wondering what is preventing the Administration from supplying our ally with the munitions they need as they fend off Putin’s aggression and growing threats to Ukraine... and all of Europe.
Members of Congress — House and Senate, Democrats and Republicans — must remain committed to supporting Ukraine and its people as they defend their independence and sovereignty against the illegal Russian onslaught.
Slava Ukraini, heroiam slava!
Her name was Angelina. She was just one year old.
Today, a Russian missile killed her and her mother on a children’s playground in Ukraine’s 🇺🇦Kharkiv region.
And yet, many seem to believe that business as usual with Russia is possible.
How utterly sickening🤬🤬🤬
“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.
I have never felt more in agreement with @ZelenskyyUa. The US president is betraying Ukraine and Europe and, in effect, siding with Russia, its aggression, and its genocidal military. I will return to being a transatlanticist when Donald Trump is gone.
President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦
@Ralf_Stegner Vielen Dank für Ihren Beitrag! Beim Thema Putin und Schröder derart eindrucksvoll die moralische Bankrotterklärung der SPD zu illustrieren, ist schon eine Kunst. So viel unfreiwillige Selbstentlarvung schafft wirklich nicht jeder.
🤡 Wer wissen will, warum sich Putin seiner Sache (mit der Eroberung des Donbas) so sicher ist, muss nur einen Blick auf die staatlichen Karten der „speziellen Militäroperation“ – des russischen Verbrecher-Krieges in der Ukraine – werfen.
➡️ Spaßeshalber habe ich die echte Front einmal eingezeichnet. Russlands Armee betrügt sich selbst und seine Bevölkerung, was die militärische Lage in der Ukraine betrifft.
I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning. What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways. So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic.
When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Why won’t we unfreeze Putin’s cash and give it to Ukraine? There is more than €140 billion in a Belgian bank account - and about £10 billion in London. Britain could show a lead.
The Ukrainians are going to win - that much was clear from the last three days in their wonderful country. But we will get this dreadful war over much faster if we all get serious and give them what they need and deserve.
