Trump: "Zelenskyy is not helping matters much. I think he doesn't want to stop the war."
FACT CHECK: Ukraine and Zelenskyy personally agreed to an unconditional ceasefire proposed by Trump in March 2025. Russia did not.
Zelenskyy explicitly proposed a cease-fire on energy infrastructure multiple times. Russia rejected it.
Zelenskyy also pushed for a mutual ban on long-range strikes. Russia rejected that as well.
The only thing Zelenskyy has refused to do is surrender or cease resisting Russian aggression.

BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin...
"I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?"
"How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked.
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.
The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.
"The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?"
"If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus."
"Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.
We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!

70% of Americans support Ukraine. Zelenskyy polls higher in the U.S. than our own President. Enjoy!

Trump is weirdly out of step with the vast majority of Americans. Most of us stand with Ukraine against the Russian aggressor.

America spent the better part of the last century establishing a world where hostile nations can't simply conquer their neighbors. We have benefited enormously from the stability that followed. Stable trade and economies mean your children can prosper.
Putin's invasion threatens that stability - and anyone who thinks the consequences will be confined to Ukraine needs a history lesson.
Counter-factuals are helpful. Say we let Russia conquer Ukraine? Now you have Russia on the border of four more NATO countries and years more of tensions and financial investments. Keep the border at Ukraine? A message gets sent and NATO ushers in decades of peace.
This is a very easy strategic calculation.

A former US Army Secretary just admitted what we’ve been saying for years.
Dan Driscoll called it “humiliating” to watch Ukraine adapt to modern warfare faster than the Pentagon, with a fraction of the budget.
“It was painful to watch Ukraine adapt while the US moved much slower,” he said. “In a sense, it was humiliating to see how quickly a nation can change when it becomes necessary. ”
Ukraine didn’t outspend anyone. It outthought them.
That stings.
Nobody wants war with terrorist ruzzia. Not even Ukraine who has no choice. ruzzia invaded Ukraine, start with that.

By the way, remember this, kids:
- spending five years raining missiles down on Ukrainian apartment buildings,
- burying Ukrainian families alive beneath the rubble of their homes night after night,
- dropping bombs on theaters, railway stations, and supermarkets packed with people,
- plunging tens of millions into darkness and freezing cold during brutally cold winters,
- destroying dams on major rivers,
- filming snuff videos of beheadings, castrations, and the torture of POWs,
- burning POWs alive en masse inside a locked prison barracks,
- firing a missile straight into a children’s cancer hospital in central Kyiv,
- striking the radiation confinement structure at the Chornobyl nuclear plant with a drone and etc etc etc
None of all that, apparently, qualifies as “state terrorism.”
“State terrorism,” you see, is when, in response to all of the above, you destroy the aggressor state’s oil industry and issue advance warnings about the dangers of flying through the aggressor state’s airspace in order to avoid civilian casualties.
Make sure you don’t get the two confused!

The US has spent roughly 5% of one year's defense budget, total, across four years. For that: Russia's ground forces degraded by a million casualties, its Black Sea Fleet displaced, its arms-export empire discredited, its army studied by every Pentagon planner — live, without one American casualty.
Name another line item in military history with that return.
The scandal was never the cost of supporting Ukraine. It's how cheaply the West bought this much security — and still complained about the invoice.

"Ukraine should hold elections." Fine — right after you explain how.
Seven million citizens abroad. A million under arms at the front. Twenty percent of the country occupied, its residents holding ballots at gunpoint — for Russia. Nightly missile strikes on the cities where the polling stations would be.
Ukraine isn't avoiding democracy. It's protecting the voters democracy needs alive.
The people demanding wartime elections in Kyiv have never once demanded real ones in Moscow.

- Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦:
"If there are no personal consequences for deciding to wage war against a sovereign state, then all international rules cease to function, the global security order is destroyed, and any other country could become a victim.
Accountability for aggression is not only a signal about the past – it is a signal about the future: about how the world responds to unlawful uses of force and what consequences await those who violate international norms"
.....
Listen to that guy; he's right.🫡

Brewers fans are showing up in numbers for William Contreras and Jackson Chourio’s Venezuelan aid drive. Cars lined up for two blocks. Basement and garage filled with boxes already. Christian Yelich arrived at the same time as my daughter and I with tons of bags.

💪🇺🇦Ukraine is reclaiming every piece of its land — step by step, meter by meter.
And where the occupier’s flag once stood, the Ukrainian will rises again.
This is not just about territory — it is about people, about home, about the right to be free on one’s own land.
Ukraine will not surrender to aggression. Ukraine is taking back what is hers — and will not stop until every last piece is free.

We are blessed to have Canada as an ally & trading partner. I’ve spoken with local businesses, and talking down to our neighbor or making “51st state” comments has not helped Nebraska or gained America one advantage. We should treat this relationship with the seriousness & respect it deserves.

Every MAGA American who is whining that “NATO and Europe are freeloaders” should listen to this.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken:
“For every dollar that we put into Ukraine, Europeans and others put in a dollar and a half.
So the notion that they were free-riding on Ukraine is simply not true.
And much of the money that we spent on Ukraine was actually spent here in the United States to either buy weapon systems for them or to replenish the systems that we gave them.”

You should listen to this:
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
We never lied when we said that 95% of the money the U.S. allocated to Ukraine never left the U.S.
