I applaud Trump for trying to end this war. But right now we’re seeing plenty of concessions from Kyiv, and few from Moscow. History teaches us a hard truth: when aggression is rewarded, it doesn’t stop. If we stay on this course in 2026, Putin will keep asking for more @pbsnews.org

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Trump: “Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.” Anybody who says with a straight face can’t be a mediator for peace. The only way Russia wants Ukraine to succeed is by making Ukraine part of Russia. That’s what this war is about. youtu.be/yBU91X-CQ9s?...

15. Europe rightly supports Ukraine with financing & arms (unlike the US), but it needs to stand up to Trump also diplomatically. Trump's "diplomacy" is not helpful but harmful since he works hard for Putin.
Pro-Putin Rubio even refuses to see EU foreign minister Kaja Kallas. /9

"If #Putin ever gives this up, he has to go to #Russia people & say, '1.4m casualties & we didn’t get all of #Ukraine. We didn’t even get all of #Donetsk'

Will they say, 'We’re happy. We don’t have to fight anymore'? Or do they say, 'You’re stopping? You were supposed to give us Greater Russia'?"
