It's been painful watching the Ukrainian accounts get excited about trump, thinking he's turned around. I can only imagine the bitterness towards America from Ukraine's front lines. Krasnov is all about the show.

We all knew Trump was going to sell out Ukraine to Putin. All his false promises - to end the war in 24 hours, to sanction Russia, provide Tomahawks, on and on. All bs. Pro-Ukraine GOP Sens & Reps suddenly silent. The US abandons allies under Trump. Putin owns Trump like a dog.
