Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear

The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

This is a stream of lies. Europe, not America, supports Ukraine. And the US has spent a fraction of the coat.

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3h

Trump makes clear that he has turned on Ukraine and Zelenskyy and want to help Russia destroy them. The technical term for this conduct in wartime is perfidy, an act of betrayal involving deceit.

Since EU and UK partners are likely to continue sharing intelligence with Ukraine this would probably flow into a wider American cut off of information sharing through the UK's 5 Eyes and similar frameworks with France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland

Ukraine spent 5 years developing their defense from Russia around Starlink, and last night, Musk cut it off to help Putin.

The halls of power in Europe need to understand that Musk, Trump and Putin aim for total dissolution of democracy, and the primary target is Europe. @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

It has been a horrible night for Kyiv, with ballistic missile attacks throughout the night. Again, Russia struck energy facilities, on top of killing & injuring civilians.

According to the Ukrainian authorities, there was no intelligence sharing by "partners" (=the US).

The threat persists.

While the Kremlin seems to largely retain the long-standing Russian view that the US calls the shots & its European allies follow (unless you can scare them into doing something else), the last two years cast real doubt on that model--both wrt the following & the scaring (see above).

Meanwhile, Moscow has made no secret of its frustration that nuclear threats have failed to get it what it wants in its war on Ukraine. While the risks of escalation constrains both Russia & countries backing Kyiv, it has not prevented European backers from helping Ukraine both hold on & hit back.
