It wasn’t only Vermont, but across the US ( Guardian link)

“Protesters took to the streets in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, with hundreds gathering to express support for Ukraine and its president”

" According to Ukraine’s president, Russia has violated 25 ceasefires since the start of its aggression in 2014".

Tnx… Here we are: Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think

the moment Gabbard got her confirmation.

Just looked her up ( CNN), she’s very controversial and anti-Ukraine…

It’s all so fucked up. Seemingly this Gen. Kellog stands with Ukraine, and also quite a few Senators, even Republicans ones.

I saw them speaking on TV in favour of supporting Ukraine at the Munich Security Conference. Afaik, this doesn’t mean that these Senators can block Trump, but they seem to have (some) influence.

EU to act with haste and avoid putting their heads in the sand.

This is 200% needed, I believe for sure, something ( hopefully big) is in the making.

Northern European citizens seem certainly in favor. To me, the Southern-Europe stance is less clear.

Also, afaik, all EU( Orbán probably not?), UK, Australia, Canada and Turkya acknowledge Zelensky as the current democratic elected president, and have send out press-releases. They are trying to pressure Trump’s administration. We’ll probably know much more after de German election, because they are waiting for them to go forward. Merz seems to be the favorite, and he promised a more proactive stance.

But, these are all words, now we need also concrete material actions using a win-win strategy. We all need to remain souverign and so we hope.

I read something in foxnews searching the net (not the most reliable source). But it creates a context to what Trump’s thinking.

" Russia has insisted it will not sign a peace agreement until Ukraine agrees to hold elections, and the U.S. is now “floating” the idea of a three-stage plan:"

• ceasefire,
• then Ukrainian elections,
• then inking of a peace.

Trump’s trying to arrange nr 2, by insulting Zelensky about being a dictator and forcing elections

Trump is doing the work for Ruzzia, so fuck him. Ukraine won’t accept this and neither will Europe.

Russian shills get their hands on it

Very true! So time for new plans, which is the new reality anyway

Incredible and fucked up:

Due to the argument, the Russian citizen felt “violated in his national pride,” Deutsche Welle reported, citing the Central Office for Combating Extremism and Terrorism of the Munich Public Prosecutor.

The suspect has been living in Germany since the early 1990s and is a “supporter of an exaggerated Russian nationalism” who “unreservedly advocates the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine,” according to the indictment.
