Trump is overtly stabbing Ukraine in the back while cravenly acting as a mouthpiece for Russia's illegal demands for Ukrainian territory and betraying NATO even as Russia is losing its genocidal war of aggression. Trump is Putin's puppet and a Russian asset steadfastly working against US interests.
It’s so absurd
Trump is pressuring Ukraine to hold election although the constitution of Ukraine explicitly allows to postpone elections in war time, despite its unclear how to hold elections in occupied territories
And then Trump touts the possibility to skip elections at home bc he is the greatest

The DUMBEST censorship. Russia's banned from the Games, so who cares if they're offended? What's offensive is their unjust war.
A Ukrainian skeleton athlete was barred from competing at the Winter Olympics just hours before his race after refusing to remove a helmet honoring compatriots killed in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
