The Administration’s decision to reduce intel sharing to Ukraine & access to Starlink equates to aiding the invader & the war criminal who bombs cities. Does the Administration think it will get ANY support for the remainder of the 119th Congress? Their agenda is dead unless they change paths. nytimes.com/2026/10/14/world…

Russia's unrelenting attacks on Ukraine and the intentional targeting of civilians proves that Putin has zero intention of ending this war. He is a war criminal and a menace to the civilized world, and should be treated as such.

Zelensky: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner. Morgan: You think you're losing America? Zelensky: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

Zelenskyy declares that Trump has betrayed Ukraine. All he asked for was the help to survive—for his country to survive. Yet, the president of an allied nation chose to stand with the aggressor. And now, the truth has finally been spoken aloud.

I'm for sovereignty. I'm against empires. I'm for human life. I'm against terrorism. I'm for democracy. I'm against dictatorship I'm for peace. I'm against barbaric invasions. Call it TDS if you insist, but these are my reasons for not agreeing with Trump on Russia/Ukraine right now.

Zelenskyy tells @NPR the White House threatened to cut off intel sharing with Ukraine. @CBSNews reports the US may have deliberately withheld warnings of Russian strikes on Kyiv that killed 6. If true, these reports are shameful and awful. npr.org/2026/10/13/nx-s1-600… cbsnews.com/news/us-ukraine-…

Putin is playing President Trump like never seen before to a U.S. President. It’s embarrassing.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, on repeated Russian strikes against Ukraine's energy sector: "Trump's 'energy ceasefire' was not specified, so Russia is hitting Ukrainian energy sector."

Zelenskyy just now: 'We have lost an ally in America. They have chosen their side. Not ours, not even the middle. Putin’s side. They have chosen the wrong side of history.' I stand with Ukraine.

Imagine making a decision that you know will lead to the murder of innocent civilians. By denying intelligence to Ukraine, that's what our president and his friends are doing right now That indifference to human life is hard for me to understand.

Trump: “Remember…your gas prices are lower than when Biden was president.” They were higher on just 76 of Biden’s 1,460 full days as president. In other words, they were lower during 95% of Biden’s term. And they’re up 39% since Trump’s inauguration: cnn.com/2026/10/13/politics/…

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

And at this very moment, Trump decides to withdraw support from Ukraine. Ukraine was unprepared for the restrictions on Starlink and the lack of intelligence data from the West. The loss of this support "caught the Ukrainian military completely off guard," writes the *Financial Times*, citing a senior Ukrainian government official. According to him, the restrictions were implemented "without warning, simply in the middle of the night." This complicated logistics for Ukrainian forces at the front. It also made it harder for the Ukrainian military to strike Russian supply lines. Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that for Trump it isn't about values ​​but about money—following the adage that "money makes the world go round," and so on. But—damn it—providing intelligence data and operating Starlink doesn't cost the average American a single cent! How will American voters react to such blatant betrayal of an ally that has been defending itself—and Europe—against a vastly superior adversary for nearly five years? According to many military experts, the situation at the front is currently more difficult for the Russian army than at any time since September 2022. And at this very moment, Trump decides to withdraw support from Ukraine. Coincidence?

It’s Ukraine and the rest of the free world vs. Putin, Musk, and Trump. Shame on us America. Shame on us.
NEW: Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials and troops tell @FT. ft.com/content/37085602-726a…

This can’t be true because Trump and the Republicans running for office have been telling me that prices have been coming down thanks to the leadership and brilliance of Trump, Bessent and Lutnick.

Ukraine holds more cards on this than Trump does.
BREAKING: Ukraine has just struck an oil depot in Valuyki, Belgorod Oblast and set it ablaze, despite Trump's warnings. Over 500 drones were launched into Russia tonight. It is the first Ukrainian strike on energy infrastructure since Trump's announced "energy ceasefire," two days ago. Ukraine's response to US threats to cut intelligence and freeze the PURL weapons mechanism if Kyiv were to resume energy strikes was "We will burn Russian refineries."

Amen.👇
General Keith Kellogg: “I would burn down every one of the goddamn refineries that Russia has today. Take them all out. It’s a military target.” It is the fastest way to end this war, because it is the fastest way to deprive Russia from the means to wage it.
