The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Trump’s worldview is that it is good for evil to prevail and wrong for the righteous to resist.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump sounds genuinely upset that Putin didn't defeat Ukraine in one day, which he insists Russia could've done had their generals not taken "a wrong turn"

Helping Putin at Ukraine's expense doesn't make America safer.

It emboldens Russia, undermines our alliances, and risks encouraging other autocrats to believe that aggression pays.

Standing with Ukraine is both the right thing to do and in America's national interest.

Putin has incomparably more influence in the West Wing than he has in eastern Ukraine. Indeed, his only hope in eastern Ukraine sits in the West Wing.

Maria Drutska @mariadrutska.bsky.social · 21h

The last time Trump criticized Putin was July 31st 2025, 443 days ago.

The last time Trump criticized Zelenskyy is measured in hours, not days.

The US taking the side of the aggressor is a truly terrible global strategic signal, and will destabilize the world for years to come.

This past week serves as a valuable reminder that, the vague term "collusion" notwithstanding, Trump has spent his whole political career these last 11 years serving Russian interests, obstructing US foreign policy to help Ukraine, and jeopardizing NATO's unified front against Russian aggression...

The National Security Strategy already made it crystal clear in word, now the U.S. intervention on behalf of Russia confirms it in practice: the Trump administration has transformed the U.S. from an ally into an enemy of the EU.

The timing of Trump's full betrayal is honestly baffling. He knows the midterms are going to be very difficult for his party and that most Americans support Ukraine. The logical thing to do to boost his standing would be to increase his support for Ukraine.

Instead, he does the exact opposite.

Of course, Trump will never impose any significant sanctions on Russia because he supports Putin and Russia against Ukraine and Europe.
All lobbying for this Russian sanctions law was a meaningless endeavor.
Congress should instead have given Ukraine arms & funds
