President Trump’s decision to waive sanctions against Russia as Putin continues his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine dishonors the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham and is decidedly not in the national interests of the United States and should be reversed.
Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength. Waiving Graham Act sanctions on Russia signals weakness at a moment that demands American strength. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression, just as we did during the years of the first Trump Administration.
A victory in Ukraine would be a victory for freedom and is squarely in the national interests of the United States. If Putin overruns Ukraine, I have no doubt it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
For the cause of freedom, for America’s national security and that of our allies including Ukraine, President Trump should Restore sanctions under the Graham Act immediately, Rescind the diesel deal with Russia and Rally our Allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Ukrainian forces overnight launched the largest attack on the city of St Petersburg of the whole war and managed to confuse Russian air defences via flying close to Estonia and Latvian airspaces on their routes up to the strikes.
The Kremlin was unable to repel the attack.
Goran Rotim retweeted
A resident of St Petersburg thanked the Ukrainian Defense Forces for attacking the city the night before.
"The global goal of the attacks is victory over the Soviet Putin's regime. The regime that takes billions of taxes from St Petersburg and sends them to Moscow. The regime that imprisons our artists or forces them to leave Russia. The one isolating us from the brotherly Finns," he said.
So far, here is the list of attacked objects in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region of Russia:
▪️Ruchyi oil depot - the largest fuel terminal in St. Petersburg, with a total capacity of 73,900 m³.
▪️A VKontakte data center in the Leningrad Region. The data center contains four server rooms, 640 server racks, and over 20,000 servers.
▪️ The St. Petersburg Oil Terminal: one of the largest liquid cargo transshipment terminals in the Baltic region. The facility has 21 storage tanks for petroleum products, and the terminal has a total throughput capacity of 12.5 million tonnes per year.
▪️ An Ozon logistics hub in St. Petersburg - one of the busiest Ozon warehouses in the region. Ozon has closed it down for now.
▪️ The "Vostochnaya" 330 kV electrical substation - one of the most important infrastructure objects of the Russian energy system in the region. It is the key link and a crucial node in St Petersburg Energy Ring.
▪️ A cable-stayed bridge across the Korabelny Fairway - a critical 8-lane section, the main transportation artery connecting the northern and southern parts of St Petersburg.

✊ Ukraine's most valuable agent, it turns out, wore a Russian uniform and helped kill more than 300 Russian soldiers
The Wall Street Journal tells the story of Lev Stupnikov, a young lieutenant who served as the communications chief of a battalion in Russia's 36th Motor Rifle Brigade.
It was his mother, an opponent of Putin and the war, who encouraged him to cooperate with Ukraine. In February 2024, she contacted Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Karpenko, asking for help getting her son to desert.
For weeks, Stupnikov passed the coordinates of Russian troop concentrations to Ukrainian intelligence. But he didn't stop there. He also disabled surveillance cameras and interfered with Russian drones during operations.
In July 2024, he defected to the Ukrainian side, handing over a phone containing passwords that allowed Ukrainian forces to access live feeds from Russian drones and cameras for several more months.
His mother and younger sister later left Russia. His wife, however, stayed behind and publicly called him a traitor.
Now the former lieutenant, whose intelligence helped kill hundreds of Russian soldiers, serves in the Russian Volunteer Corps and fights against his former brigade.

BIG | 🇺🇸🇺🇦‼️ Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has issued a forceful warning over restrictions on Ukraine’s access to Starshield, promising congressional investigations, public hearings and punitive funding cuts against any U.S. officials or agencies found responsible.
Fitzpatrick pledged to President Volodymyr Zelensky that anyone attempting to restrict Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s military satellite communications system would face full accountability.
He said Congress would reaffirm Ukraine’s importance as a U.S. ally and recognize Russia as a self-declared adversary of the United States.
Fitzpatrick also called for Washington to provide Ukraine with all the defensive equipment it needs, prohibit imports of Russian oil and impose stronger sanctions on Moscow.
“Not one drop of Russian oil should be imported into the United States,” he declared, adding that the proposed measures would be brought before the House of Representatives, where he expects overwhelming support.
Invoking former President Ronald Reagan, Fitzpatrick concluded:
“Ukraine can defeat Russia, and Ukraine will defeat Russia.”
🔥 Fitzpatrick’s statement highlights significant Republican opposition to policies perceived as weakening Ukraine’s defense. His threats of congressional oversight and budgetary consequences also demonstrate how disputes over satellite communications and military assistance could develop into a broader confrontation between Congress and the Trump administration. Whether his proposals advance will depend on congressional action, but his remarks underscore the continuing debate within Washington over support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia.

The trend this year continues – since the start of fall, our warriors have liberated more territory than the Russians have managed to capture. The same was true at other points this year. We continue to press the Russians at the front.
Dobropillia, Kostiantynivka, Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, Orikhiv, Novopavlivka, Novoandriivka, and Velykomykhailivka are all under Ukrainian control. We are also defending the areas near Kramatorsk and destroying Russian forces 20 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia, not 5, as someone over there in Russia is snowing Putin.
Our front is strong, and I thank every warrior and every one of our units that is carrying out its tasks in full.

Zelensky has offered to halt Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil refineries, if the US provides more Patriot missiles to shield Ukrainian cities from Russian ballistic attacks.
He says delayed interceptors and Starlink restrictions look like pressure on Kyiv to capitulate.
