Summary

Days before the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians find unity threatened not just by Russia but also shifting U.S. support.

Donald Trump’s false labeling of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator” has provoked fierce backlash, even from Zelenskyy’s critics, who now rally around him.

With ongoing Russian attacks and Ukrainian forces stretched thin, Trump’s suggestion of a swift end to hostilities raises fears of concessions favoring Russia.

Officials argue that elections amid war would undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. Many vow to continue resisting, regardless of major foreign policy changes.

    I’m in Texas (Dallas) and i don’t really see those people. Most of the Republicans i know love George Bush but when you mention Greg Abbott or Trump they just shake their heads. It’s the rural areas.

      It is the rural areas.

      I’m in rural TN, and the Trump cult is embedded deep here.

      I get to look out my bedroom window and see Trump flags every morning.

        Rural Pennsylvania here. If the orange Jim Jones started a Kool-Aid line his folks here would fight to be first in line.

        I’m in Massachusetts and can report much the same here. Outside the cities, there’s plenty of MAGA maniacs. You could see “Trump 2020” flags still up all throughout Biden’s term in spots.
