I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

The Belarus regime has sentenced artist Aksana Shaliapina to 3 years in prison for supporting dozens of political prisoners. Her art is known around the world, but she is treated as a criminal just for showing kindness. This is how the dictator tries to break our solidarity.

This should be a wake up call to Keir Starmer. Trump is not a reliable ally. Trump wants to weaken Europe and carve up Ukraine while cosying up to Putin. Britain and our allies in Europe must stand together against his threats and bullying.

Trump is now simply incapable of opening his mouth without lying. Heโs just utterly unhinged and so aligned with russian propaganda is almost laughable. 10 days left and maybe weโll know exactly whatโs eating Donald from the inside out.

"I invited the Pope to visit Ukraine. This would be a strong signal of support for our people." โ President Zelensky Letโs hope Pope Leo XIV takes him up on this offer. It would be a powerful symbolic message to Russia and to those pressuring Ukraine to capitulate.

Trump is visibly angry at Ukraine, and at Zelenskyy personally, for refusing to surrender to genocidal invaders. He falls into this mood every time he fails to make us capitulate. Every single time.
