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.
Zelensky is the best person to be in the position he has, all things considered. Seems like a stand-up guy, and not a career politician that you’re gonna worry has other motives in mind.
A true man of the people.
“Slava Ukraini!”
Fuck Trump and MAGA. I am beyond disappointed in my country.
Seems like a stand-up guy
I mean, duh, he used to be a comedian!
I’ll see myself out now…
Go move to Ukraine lol
No. You go to Ukraine—and make sure you wear your MAGA hat.
Nah, imma stay in the country whose leader I voted for lol
Nazis fuck off
Not a nazi. Just a honest hardworking man haha
Removed by mod
lol. Keep talking big behind that screen
Ukrainian friends, as an American I’m sorry this has happened, sorry both for my country and for yours. It may be a small consolation as our new regime withdraws aid, but remember that most Americans are still on your side as we have been throughout the war.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 !
Slava Ukraini from America. Fuck Trump.
Does Trump realise the whole world just thought what an obvious lying Cunt.
fuck russia. fuck the american people as they had a vote.
American here. Fuck the people who voted for Trump, didn’t vote at all, and anyone involved in the huge spike of voter suppression. We were sold out through misinformation and inference.
Zelenskyy is one of the greatest nation leaders I have witnessed in my lifetime.
GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!
With love,
some Lakota dude from Washington State USA
Zelensky is no dictator. He just happened to be the president at the time that putin invaded and now cannot simply quit and let it all fall apart. Who in their right mind would choose to be a good leader for Ukraine now when the US is turning nazi?
There are two very good reasons not to have an election there right now
1: they just don’t have the time for it, they are fighting for their lives and country.
- A sudden strategy shift, even if it’s a good one, has the potential to put their army in disarray.
More important, it’s just more projection. He’s a dictator. Not me
3. You know Putin would throw every possible resource into influencing that election. He’s damn good at it now too
The Great Uniter.
United Canadians. United Mexicans. Now Ukrainians.
Who’s next?
It won’t be States, that’s for sure.
He wants to run the US like Putin so bad, maybe fringe states will break away there too
Fuck Trump, fuck Putin. We stand with Ukraine.
There is a similar thing happening with Trudeau in Canada (with lower stakes perhaps). His popularity in 2024 was abysmal, but Trump being elected and coming after him as revived his legacy.
Donnie really thinks that people look at him in awe and wonder.
Well, I certainly do look at him in wonder.
I am in awe of his stupidity and that he was even allowed to run in the last election
I am in awe of voter stupidity.
Also awe as in he’s awful.
Fun fact, “awful” comes from “awe-ful”, that is, something that fills you with awe. Not necessarily something good or bad, just really big. In older books you see it used in that sense, referring to something like a loud noise, explosion, or a religious experience like the appearance of an angel.
Other world leaders should really start to ignore the guy and respond to his blabbering with “if I wanted your opinion, I’d ask Putin.”
he has people praying to him.
I mean I do not understand it but there are a lot of people that absolutely do. A shockingly high number.
I’m in Texas (Dallas) and i don’t really see those people. Most of the Republicans i know love George Bush but when you mention Greg Abbott or Trump they just shake their heads. It’s the rural areas.
It is the rural areas.
I’m in rural TN, and the Trump cult is embedded deep here.
I get to look out my bedroom window and see Trump flags every morning.
I’m in Massachusetts and can report much the same here. Outside the cities, there’s plenty of MAGA maniacs. You could see “Trump 2020” flags still up all throughout Biden’s term in spots.
Rural Pennsylvania here. If the orange Jim Jones started a Kool-Aid line his folks here would fight to be first in line.
And these people consistently vote.
That’s the thing that people on the Left need to understand.
Voting matters.
The MAGoos vote in every election.
Until the Left makes voting a priority the MAGoos will always have the advantage.
Yeah, but that might be because Trump panders to the ideologically radical part of their base and promises a vision of the US that is different than how it looks like. I sincerely think he represents hope for change to those people, however fucked up that is.
You guys need a leftist Trump, not the mentally disabled part, but the “actually fights for an ideology and vision” part. Like pack the courts, make Republicans fight in the courts to strike down unconstitutional orders for socialized healthcare, appoint an AG that puts people like Trump in prison, or just well… do something.
Good! Keep the truth alive Ukraine!
Isn’t it pretty standard to postpone elections in wartime?
But the US had elections during WW2 and they where in exact same position as Ukraine is now!
Edit: Was that really THAT hard to detect the sarcasm? I guess humor is really dead.
Were they? Wich part of the US was ocupied exaclty? Apart from some atols in the middle of nowhere?
I’m 99. 9% confident they were being sarcastic.
I sure as hell hope so. But I can’t be certain anymore. So much weird, hyperbolic shit has happened or been said in the past 3 months, it makes headlines from The Onion seem reasonable in comparison.
Thank you, you’re one of the four that found it funny / understood that it was a joke.
He’s got Quebecois singing the national anthem in English, now he’s got Zelenskyy’s critic rally around him. He truly is uniting the world lol
The rest of the world doesn’t live in the American misinformation bubble…
Are you sure about that? I guess TikTok isn’t American.
America has fox news. Legaly not a news channel, but an entertainment channel. They argue that you are not suposed to take them seriously. But their viewers don’t know that. Half the country takes whatever is said dead seriously.
