Ukraine biting the hand that feeds it. Typical.
🚨SHOCKING: Ukrainian soldiers are expressing their outrage over Trump's administration's peace talks, and their action speaks volumes. They call President Trump, Musk, Vance, Rubio, and Graham “Judas” while burning pictures of their faces taped on sticks together with an American flag. These are the same people we have given billions of dollars to. This is UNFORGIVABLE!

I'd bet that most of the world has grown accustomed to the 'collective West's' madness, stopped buying into it and following its lead, and Europe is just now waking up to this reality
The UK's war enthusiasm reaches new heights just as the US decides to pull away from a disaster. The world is bewildered by the madness sweeping through Europe

Perhaps he can use it to replace Trump's portrait in the Colorado State Capitol
Putin did send a 'personal gift' to Trump, a portrait — Kremlin

NATO’s 26-year shame: Yugoslavia bombing anniversary exposes deadly legacy On March 24, 1999, the alliance began a 78-day bombing of Yugoslavia, dropping over 28K bombs - including depleted uranium & cluster munitions - killing over 2,000 civilians & destroying infrastructure.

THIS. This is Trump’s biggest impact to date on the Ukraine situation - Witkoff tells Carlson that main issue is the new Russian territories, where people speak Russian and overwhelmingly voted to be part of Russia

This reality check is a breath of fresh air from Washington media.
Extraordinary piece in THE HILL. The truth is finally coming out about the Ukraine war. The author explains why Trump is right about Ukraine; the war was completely unnecessary; Biden and Zelensky played significant roles in provoking and escalating it; and Western media has continuously lied about it. The author writes: “I rarely agree with President Trump, but his latest controversial statements about Ukraine are mostly true. They only seem preposterous because western audiences have been fed a steady diet of disinformation about Ukraine for more than a decade. It is time to set the record straight on three key points that illuminate why Ukrainians and former President Joe Biden — not merely Russian President Vladimir Putin — bear significant responsibility for the outbreak and perpetuation of war in Ukraine. “First, as recently documented by overwhelming forensic evidence, and affirmed even by a Kyiv court, it was Ukrainian right-wing militants who started the violence in 2014 that provoked Russia’s initial invasion of the country’s southeast including Crimea. … “Second, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky contributed to a wider war by violating peace deals with Russia [known as Minsk 1 and 2] and seeking NATO military aid and membership. … “Third, Joe Biden too contributed crucially to the escalation and perpetuation of fighting. … Biden raised false hopes in Ukraine, needlessly perpetuating a war that has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands in the last two years alone during which the frontlines have shifted by less than 1 percent of Ukraine’s territory. … “Even more tragic, whatever peace deal emerges after the war will be worse for Ukraine than the Minsk accords that Zelensky foolishly abandoned due to his political ambitions and naïve expectation of bottomless U.S. support.”

Yes. RT does, in fact, offer a perspective that should be heard, as well as one that is often closer to the truth than what we Americans are told.
