Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the U.S., its primary military supporter, cuts funding.

Speaking to Fox News, he stressed the importance of unity between the U.S. and Ukraine as Russia accelerates its territorial gains.

Zelensky acknowledged Ukraine’s challenges on the battlefield, despite new U.S. weapon supplies, including long-range missiles and anti-personnel land mines.

He criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for engaging with Putin, calling it a risky move.

Trump has pledged to end the war quickly but offered no specifics.

    Right? Before the election I had a political conversation with a coworker who leans more conservative and she was excited about Trump “making peace with Putin”. It was a serious wtf moment for me. “Peace” with Putin means pulling funding for Ukraine and letting Russia roll over it.

      Didn’t anyone learn from his “Peace in Afghanistan”? He literally just gave the Taliban everything they wanted and told the Afghans we were leaving.

      I grew up during the cold war. The idea that Republicans (after spending decades calling people left of them “pinko commies” - it was their cold war version of complaining about people being “woke”) are the party that sees nothing wrong with Putin now is part of what has convinced me that Trump has somehow made them lose their minds.

      I absofuckinglutely guarantee that there are crusty old white guys who were wearing “better dead than red” tshirts all through the 80s who are somehow now cheerleading for Trump being in bed with Putin.
