At least now we know what concessions to expect from russia.

Journalist: What concessions has russia offered?

Trump: Stopping taking the whole country.

The Art of Deal.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my cousin, Taras Horodetskyi — a brave defender of Ukraine and a devoted father.

While on a combat mission in the Zaporizhzhia region, Taras’s vehicle came under heavy fire and was engulfed in flames. Despite suffering severe injuries, he managed to apply a tourniquet to his own arm and attempted to return to his unit. His legs, riddled with shrapnel, gave out — forcing him to crawl nearly a mile through a minefield before collapsing at a medical station.

Taras was rushed to intensive care, where doctors diagnosed him with multiple fractures, numerous shrapnel wounds, a cerebral contusion, and an open head injury.

Though he survived, the road ahead is long and uncertain. Doctors removed over 150 pieces of shrapnel from his body. He has lost hearing in his left ear, and his left arm remains partially paralyzed.

If it’s on your heart to help, please consider donating and sharing this post. Your support will go directly toward his recovery and help his family navigate this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution — no matter the size — makes a real difference.

After being so disappointed by Lex Fridman — who clearly lost credibility by pushing pro-russian narratives in his interview with Zelenskyy — I didn’t expect much from Ben Shapiro.

But to my surprise, it’s actually a very good interview!

Russians have turned Pokrovsk into a graveyard. The city lies in ruins. In the photo: a children’s playground, now serving as a burial site.

Brilliant trolling of Trump!

Son of CIA Deputy Director was killed fighting for russia in Ukraine.

Michael Gloss, a U.S. Navy veteran and son of a CIA deputy director, was killed in Ukraine while fighting for russia.

In 2023, he joined the Rainbow Family movement, lived in hippie camps, and eventually moved to russia. After his visa expired, he signed a contract with the russian Ministry of Defense.

Deployed to Ukraine in late 2023, Gloss was killed in Donetsk Oblast in April. He was later buried in the United States.

If you kill one person, the CIA will hunt you down across the globe. But if you kill thousands, the U.S. Special Representative will come to greet you.

The day after russia killed 12 in Kyiv, Whitcroft flew to meet Putin with a smiling face, saying, “I’m so glad to see you.”

You cannot make a deal with a bully.

Once you compromise, he’ll come back and demand more. That’s a truth I learned in middle school.

A bully — three years older and much bigger than me — demanded money. Hoping he’d leave me alone, I paid.

But it didn’t stop there. He came back again. And again.

3/
The bullying only stopped when I told my dad. He had a “heart-to-heart” with the guy.

No negotiation. No compromise. Just firm boundaries. That’s why it worked.

4/
It seems like such an obvious truth, yet many still believe you can reason with a bully. That if you give him what he wants, he’ll stop.

History proves otherwise.

5/
Ukraine tried compromise in 2014. Under pressure, we gave up Crimea and part of Donbas. We signed a so-called “peace agreement.”

russia came back in 2022 — with tanks, missiles, and genocide.

6/
Now, some are urging Ukraine to give up land again for the sake of “peace.”

To those people, let me say plainly: you’re making the same mistake I made as a scared kid. Only now, the stakes are much higher.

7/
Ukraine has a better chance of surviving by resisting — even alone — than by surrendering.

If we give in now, our children will still be paying the price decades from today.

Yes, the cost of resistance is high.

“Ukraine Cannot Accept the Peace of the Graveyard.”

My article published by Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA).

Reference: cepa.org/article/ukrain…

“The fighting needs to stop… there needs to be peace.”

First of all, Ukrainians want peace more than anyone. But they also understand better than anyone that if they were to stop fighting and allow russia to occupy Ukraine, change the government in Kyiv, far more people would die in the following years to come. Just examine the history - what happens to countries and their people that remain under the russian occupation.

Second, the current “peace deal” being offered is short sighted and unstable. If there is no substantial and robust US and EU force in Ukraine, russia (Putin or not) will launch a second invasion in the near future.

This way russia will achieve multiple objectives at once:
1. Take the rest of Ukraine.
2. Diminish the standing of the U.S., NATO, and the EU.
3. Send the message that any Western security guarantees are worthless, and failure to acquiesce to russias demands are punished.

If russia pays no price for the war of aggression they’ve launched, they have no incentive to stop in the future.

Peace at any cost does not satiate the aggressor, it emboldens him.
