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.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

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.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni tells the Senate: Trump’s diesel deal with Putin “legitimises Moscow while it bombs Ukraine”.

“The surge in fuel prices is due primarily to the war in Iran, not the conflict in Ukraine.”

NEW: Ukrainian troops were caught off guard by restrictions on Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials tell me.

Ukraine blindsided by Starlink restrictions and intelligence gaps during Russian attack

Moscow ignores Donald Trump’s ‘energy ceasefire’ while Kyiv’s forces experience connectivity problems on Elon Musk’s satellite network

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.

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
