I am a pessimist by training but I am more optimistic about Ukraine now than I was this morning. Wish I could say this about the US. This was a horror show, but the trajectory was unsustainable and Trump, in his efforts to help Putin might have generated the pushback energy I haven't seen since 2022

All we see here is that Zelensky is not rolling over.
Pay attention.

Reason it looks “bad” is because Ze (like most Ukrainians) won’t just give up his country’s territory to aggressors & we are not used to seeing that.
Smaller countries & their leaders often give in to bullying.

There’s no profit in dissecting what transpired in the White House. If there was ever any ambiguity as to where the administration was headed, it is surely gone.

The only question now is whether that disambiguation makes its way to Europe before Zelensky’s plane lands in London.

Soft Power: Russian Influence on Ukraine, the US, and the World One of the most anticipated events in the speaker series "Civil Society and Ukrainian Resilience". The topic of discussion is Soft Power: Russian Influence on Ukraine, the US, and the World. The speakers will discuss the effect of the ongoing covert Russian propaganda on civil society in Ukraine and around the world, with a special reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our speakers are: Yevhen Hlibovytsky, Ukrainian public intellectual with background in policy and analytics Roman Oleksenko, program manager, prominent civic activist, volunteer. Один із найочікуваніших заходів із серії "Громадянське суспільство та українська стійкість". Тема дискусії – «М’яка сила: вплив Росії на Україну, США та світ». Спікери обговорять вплив прихованої російської пропаганди, яка триває, на громадянське суспільство в Україні та в усьому світі. Особливим буде акцент на ізраїльсько-палестинський конфлікт. Наші спікери: Євген Глібовицький, український публічний інтелектуал із досвідом політики та аналітики. Роман Олексенко, керівник програм, видатний громадський активіст, волонтер. Залученість громадян та громадянок до актуальних проблем є надзвичайно важливим кроком для покращення нашого життя, тому ми закликаємо долучатися до творення нашого теперішнього разом з нами

Please watch Yevhen Hlibovytskyy & Roman Oleksenko talking about russia's lies and how it promotes these lies around the world. I suggest starting around minute 27:07 (and minute 28:52 and 29:35). bit.ly/rsn_propaganda

Literally right now Russia is striking and targeting civilians infrastructure.

Moments ago reports of explosions and black outs in Odesa.

The US cannot let Russia make a fool of it. Because that is what is happening.
