Evidently the only thing MAGA influencers are capable of is instilling lies laced with fear. They would have no real reason to instill fear if they were dealing with the truth. Trump doesn't demand the truth and that is Ukraine is our ally and friend.
The facts are clear, Russia has been killing innocent Ukrainians while talking about attempts at a ceasefire and potentially peace. Ukraine forces were doing nothing wrong and simply returning fire in an attempt to stop the Russians from killing the citizens of Ukraine.
I am pleased to hear there is a prisoner exchange secured by the diplomates in Turkey. Unfortunately, included in that exchange is 1200 dead soldiers. Ukraine is trying to have Russia return more than 300 children to their rightful parents, but, Russia is not willing to do so.
I find the Ukraine military amazing. The war they have been waging to protect the sovereign borders of their country have been heroic. Absolutely ingenious and heroic. I remember the invasion by Russia when there was a fall of the Russia held government through Yanukovych. He had completely dismantled Ukraine's sovereign military and substituted militias throughout the country at the whim of oligarchs. The militias appeared out of nowhere it seemed at the time.
Today, those militias have been dissolved and the Ukraine national military is strong again with some of the most incredible soldiers in the world. Ukraine was a peaceful country seeking nothing more than economic agreements with their neighbors in Europe as well as Russia. Then for no real reason, President Zelenskyy found himself facing a war. He put together strong friendships and began to fight for his country as the people whom elected him wanted. Today he is an amazing leader with a military still surprising the Free World with its ingenious tactics, strategies, and resilience.
I look forward to the end of this bloody battle and the return of all Ukrainian children to their families.

MAGA's alarm over Ukraine's attack — and comparative silence when Russia targets Ukrainian civilians — underscores the movement's deep skepticism of the Western-backed government in Kyiv.
While Trump seeks to present himself as a neutral mediator trying to bring broker peace, large swathes of his base see Ukraine — not Russia — as the enemy....
