"I need ammunition, not a ride."
A reminder who the US government just tried to humiliate.
He remained in Kyiv while it was being bombarded. And you think this man can be bullied by the current lineup of GOP politicians?

What’s Mandelson up to? Is this really Kier Starmer’s message to Europe, or is Mandelson an outlier with this?

Peter Mandelson has been rebuffed for saying Volodymyr Zelenskyy should be more supportive of US peace efforts and that Ukraine should unilaterally call a ceasefire, with a UK defence minister saying this was “not government policy”.
The overnight comments by Lord Mandelson, the UK ambassador to Washington, were also criticised by opposition parties, with the Liberal Democrats saying Mandelson should not be “telling President Zelenskyy what to do”.
In an interview with ABC News, Mandelson, who was Keir Starmer’s choice to try to maintain ties with the second Donald Trump administration, said there was a need for a “very radical reset” after Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, berated Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Friday.
“The reset has to consist of the United States and Ukraine getting back on the same page, President Zelenskyy giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative that President Trump is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to Ukraine,” Mandelson said.
“And the Europeans too, they need to back the calls for a ceasefire, and – by the way – I think that Ukraine should be the first to commit to a ceasefire and defy the Russians to follow.”
Asked whether this was government policy, Luke Pollard, the armed forces minister, replied: “No.” He told Sky News: “It’s certainly right that Ukrainians want peace. I think of all the people on our continent that want peace, the Ukrainians want it the most.
“But we’re still in discussions, diplomatic engagement with our European, US and Ukrainian friends as to the shape of that deal. It’s certainly right that the war could stop tomorrow if President Putin stopped his illegal and unprovoked aggression. He could stop this war.”
Asked if Mandelson had been incorrect with his comments, Pollard said: “That’s not government policy.”
Earlier, senior figures in the Lib Dems and Conservatives criticised Mandelson’s intervention. Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, tweeted: “What is Mandelson up to? You cannot square what the prime minister said this morning with this. What is the government’s actual position? Our man in DC should be securing US protection for our brave Ukrainian allies, not telling President Zelenskyy what to do.”
James Cleverly, a former Conservative foreign secretary, said: “The UK ambassador to Washington isn’t meant to communicate his own opinion, he is meant to communicate the UK government opinion. Lammy and Starmer need to grip this.”

#Slidstvo is an investigative journalism organization from #Ukraine, founded by absolutely fearless folks, one of whom I have the honor of calling a friend.
They just got 80% of their budget slashed due to US oligarchs – the kind they tend to investigate – shuttering #USAID:

Investigative journalism is hard and dangerous enough by itself. They are doing it in a war-torn country, under falling bombs and rockets. And now their limited budget just got even more limited.
Some of our European leaders are too cowardly to stand up to bullies. But Volodymyr #Zelenskyy is the European leader who stands up to fascist Vance and criminal Trump when they try to humiliate him, Ukrainians and all of us Europeans, time and time again.
Now, more than ever, #StandWithUkraine and #ArmUkraineToWIN
Ukraine is #Europe
Ukraine in #EU
#Ukrainians will win 🇺🇦

Trump's killing people to further a personal vendetta.
Because Zelenskyy wouldn't help him win the 2020 election.

Today would be a good day to donate to #Ukraine. There is an official government website that allows you to donate to one of several funds including defense, reconstruction, medical, and de-mining.
I have a standing $25/month donation to their medical fund and periodically drop more money in on one of the other funds if there aren't boots on the ground kind of fundraisers that I'm backing at the time.
As I don't have the time and attention lately to feel confident in donating to the front line fundraisers, I donate through the Ukraine government's donation site:

I'll be showing them a little love later today. Slava Ukraini.
Anyone else feeling the ❤️ for Trudeau right now? I hate Trump and all he stands for!

Via Rupar:
these are almost identical to the talking points Putin used to gobble up parts of #Ukraine in 2014 btw
#Trump: "We are dealing with a lot of people from #Greenland that would like to see something happen with respect to being properly protected and properly taken care of. They're calling us, we're not calling them."

Hätte ich auch nicht gedacht, dass ich mal dazu Aufrufe Waffenkaufhilfe zu leisten. Aber das ist wohl die Zeit... "Vorkriegszeit".
Die UA brauchen 200mrd Dollar zum Eindecken auf dem int. Waffenmarkt um sich einzudecken, das tut Putin so weh, dass er dann verhandeln muss.
Was für eine Welt.

#PutinsPuppet is spreading #RussianPropaganda & attacking #Zelensky, #Obama & #Biden in disgusting #racist code & advocating for #Russia’s demands.
“I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian & Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever.
No reason?! Just their #sovereignty, #independence & #democracy

Gibt es eigentlich eine offizielle Bestätigung der #Ukraine des Briefes von #Selenskyj an #Trump? Ich finde dazu nichts. Trump zitiert ja nur den Tweet von Selenskyj. Und da hat sich die Position der Ukraine eigentlich nicht geändert. Kann es also sein, dass es den Brief gar nicht gibt?
Latest comic: It's profoundly weird to witness what is happening in the US as someone who came of age at the end of the Cold War.
