🤬 Right now, my city, Odesa, home to a million people, is under heavy attack by Shahed drones. The entire city is in shelters—children, the elderly, the sick.

Cutting military aid to Ukraine is not a peacekeeping strategy—it is aiding the aggressor. It weakens Ukraine’s air defense.

It’s unacceptable that 500 million Europeans have left themselves exposed and dependent on 340 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians, who have been unable to win against 40 million Ukrainians in a three-day war that has lasted for three years.
