Sorry to quote my book, but I think this might be useful for those who still hope “to talk things out” with Putin.

37 years ago on this day, the greatest cargo aircraft ever built, Antonov An-225 Mriya, had its maiden flight. The queen of the skies fell victim of the Russian war on Ukraine, but who knows; maybe one day we’ll see another Mriya in flight.

We put Putin's 19 December speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address. Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording. "I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act." The formula aggressors use to make conquest sound like self-defense hasn't changed in 86

You don't negotiate with someone who marches into another country, devastates it, killing whoever stands in his way. You get him out, you make him pay, and see that he is never in a position to do these things again.

Putin allows seizure of Ukrainian homes left empty in invasion. But confiscation of Russian central bank reserves is “stealing” according to Putin. What a hypocritical POS.

Russia’s demands for peace risk normalising conquest, impunity and imperial ambition in the modern world.

Putin: “all objectives of “special military operation” will be fulfilled”, “historically Russian territories will be returned.” The madman conducts this war for the same reasons as Hitler 85 years ago.

Russia and its state-run church are every day attacking Ukraine and, in parts of Ukraine they occupy, banning and persecuting Catholics, Ukrainian Orthodox, and Evangelicals. And yet because of the woke-victim voodooery and massive budgets they are able to send Kremlin priests

The persecution of Christians under Zelenskyy cannot be ignored. I was honored to stand with a delegation from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to raise awareness for the state-backed crackdown on religious freedom. The U.S. must defend Christians and stand for religious liberty,

Ukraine has been called the Bible Belt of Europe because of the high numbers of evangelical Christians. The worst place to be a prot Christian in Ukraine is Russian occupied territory. And Russia has persecuted evangelicals for being “tools of the West.” Don’t be fooled by pro

Never forget, Russia started the war unprovoked. Only because the billionaire dictator Putin wanted to expand his territories, steal Ukraine’s vast natural resources, and make himself wealthier. Glory to Ukraine🇺🇦
