We are selling the tech that allow Russian and North Korean missiles to hit Kyiv. But Trump won’t give or even sell Zelens’kyi the defensive tech needed to stop them.
🔴 Zelenskyy says the missile that killed 12 in Kyiv had 116 foreign-made parts—most from U.S. firms.
The missile was likely North Korean. He blames weak pressure on Russia and Pyongyang for enabling such attacks.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv.
This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it.
The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

Ukraine did what he asked; Russia did not; and now he will blame Ukraine and cozy up to Russia. This whole peace thing is a distraction from the ongoing war that Ukraine has no choice but to fight because it is being asssulted every day.
Ukraine accepted a ceasefire, Russia did not. This is Trump’s response: “if, for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people' & we're going to just take a pass”

This is an unusual order for several reasons, suggesting the majority thought it necessary. This was issued:
• after midnight
• before the government even responded (perhaps most irregular)
• while a Fifth Circuit request remains pending &
• before a dissenting justice could finish their statement.
