@Mr_E_Studio@EricLDaugh What makes you think the US funds everything? You’re at 35% of total aid sent/promised.
As a percentage of GDP, the US isn't even top 10, it sits around 15–20th place.
@AleksDaCreator Crazy that some people still listen to a delusional leader who dropped the ball on basically everything and is now desperately trying to scapegoat a country fighting for its survival just to score cheap points for the midterms.

@ianmiles Refinery strikes aren't about US elections.
It’s standard military strategy:
Starve Russian tanks/jets of fuel
Cut Russia’s war revenue
Force air defense away from the front lines
Target the logistics, win the war.
@Godfrey_Bloom FYI, Zelensky still has an approval rating over 60%, compared to Trump’s ~36% as he desperately scrambles to save the midterms. On top of that, holding elections under martial law is explicitly forbidden by the Ukrainian constitution.
@1Patriot2020 If you're so concerned about cheap diesel, maybe start by addressing the mess in the Middle East instead of criticizing a nation fighting for its very survival.
@CynicalHodler Zelenskyy still holds 55–60% approval in Ukraine mid-war, while Trump’s US approval sits around 35–38%.
Demanding an invaded ally replace a leader who is more popular in his country than Trump is in his own is purely ridiculous.
@CynicalHodler On top of that, demanding that the attacked nation replace its leader mid-war just to fit US political narratives is absurd.
Zelenskyy was democratically elected in 2019. Meanwhile, aggressor Putin has held power for over 27 years. Talk about double standards.
@CynicalHodler First, it's illegal: Art. 19 of the Martial Law Act directly bans elections, while Constitution Art. 83 & 108 extend official terms until post-war.
Second, it's practically impossible: millions of refugees & front-line troops can't vote while under Russian missile fire.
