‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠ Zelensky created a "Putin regime" in Ukraine, - Poroshenko responded to the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on sanctions against him

▪️“The National Security and Defense Council made an unconstitutional, politically motivated decision,” the former president said.
➖"This crime has many accomplices: Zelensky's entire team, the Cabinet of Ministers, which was bent over to an absurd performance, members of his National Security and Defense Council. But the customer, the executor, and the signatory are one - Zelensky personally," Poroshenko wrote.
▪️He accused Zelensky of “completely ignoring the problems of the army during the first three years of his presidency,” of “ignoring all intelligence from allies about the inevitable invasion for five months before the invasion, of not preparing for war himself, of not preparing the army and the country, of hiding information from the people concerning the safety of everyone and everything,” and of “corruption on a large scale.”
▪️"He is looking for someone to shift responsibility for his tragic mistakes to. That is why he launched a campaign of accusations against Western partners. That is why he ordered the imprisonment of combat commanders. And here, without Poroshenko, there is no way," the ex-president wrote.
▪️He stated that “in the deep rear, a handful of those in power, parasitizing on martial law, are building an authoritarian political regime in Ukraine, similar to Putin’s.”
▪️"Why are they doing this? Because they have elections. Not ours. The authorities," Poroshenko believes.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 "Zelensky has a low rating" and he may lose, - Trump

▪️ Asked whether he would support the idea of the Ukrainian president ceding or exchanging territory to end the war, Trump said: "He's going to have to do what he has to do, but his rating, to put it mildly, is not very high."
▪️ When asked whether Zelensky would be excluded from the negotiating process, Trump made it clear that this would not happen “as long as he’s there.” However, in order for the dialogue to continue, Zelensky must hold elections and be prepared for the fact that if he loses, he will no longer be able to participate in the negotiations.
➖"For now, he's there. But at some point, you're also going to need elections," Trump concluded.

An Associated Press reporter was denied entry to a White House event because the outlet refused to comply with the president’s order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the American Gulf. AP Editor-in-Chief Julie Pace is concerned that “the Trump administration is punishing AP for its independent journalism.”

It’s a shame that Pace is only now alarmed. Strange (or not) that she wasn’t worried when her colleagues from various countries were harassed and banned for truly independent journalism.

British reporter Mike Jones wrote for “Reverse” about the persecution of journalists for their honest opinions on Donbass.
