Summary

Days before the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians find unity threatened not just by Russia but also shifting U.S. support.

Donald Trump’s false labeling of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator” has provoked fierce backlash, even from Zelenskyy’s critics, who now rally around him.

With ongoing Russian attacks and Ukrainian forces stretched thin, Trump’s suggestion of a swift end to hostilities raises fears of concessions favoring Russia.

Officials argue that elections amid war would undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. Many vow to continue resisting, regardless of major foreign policy changes.

    I dunno about that.

    I wouldn’t be more willing to die in a losing war just because donald trump said zelensky was bad or something.

    Seems like this is just propaganda to convince useful idiots that Ukraine isn’t currently getting routed and cover-up their massive desertion and recruitment problems.

    This is the reality of war, everyone. If you were “gung-ho” about Ukraine decimating the incompetent Russians, you may have fallen for propaganda.

    Hopefully you can learn from it in the future so you can recognize it when you see it again.

      The 3 day special operation is now on the verge of year 3, also a country that has 3 times your population, and was considered the second most powerful army on the planet, was halted? Talk about falling for propaganda.
