This is surely Putin’s Achilles heel? The media should ask Trump about this again and again.
NEW: The specialist unit searching for Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia has been AXED by Elon Musk.
Just when you think he can’t stoop lower.
19,500 children have been stolen from Ukraine & sent to Russia. The unit at Yale had already rescued 100s - but its funding has now been halted.
