“Representative Anna Paulina Luna has drafted SCHUMER Act (Senators Can Help Underpin Military Engagement and Readiness), the proposed bill aims to mandate that members of Congress who support military aid to Ukraine must themselves serve on the front lines of the conflict.”
"Last night’s @TuckerCarlson's interview with #Putin shows that #Russia is open to a peace agreement, while it is DC warmongers who want to prolong the war.
That is why I’m voting to stop 60 BILLION MORE of our tax dollars to this conflict."
"If you really want to stop fighting, you need to stop supplying weapons. It will be over within a few weeks, that’s it, and then we can agree on some terms. Before you do that, stop"
The #Russian online community noted that #Putin did not offer any new information in his interview with Tucker #Carlson and simply repeated longstanding #Kremlin talking points about# Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine for #American audiences.
#Russia's occupation of #Ukraine amounts to a deliberate ethnic cleansing campaign that relies on a strategy of forced depopulation and repopulation, creating the façade of multigenerational and irreversible impacts intended to further isolate Ukraine from the #West.
The #Kremlin’s occupation of #Ukraine aims to eliminate #Ukrainian identity by forcibly integrating occupied Ukraine into #Russia socially, culturally, linguistically, politically, economically, religiously, and bureaucratically.
#Ukrainian forces recently made confirmed advances near #Kreminna and #Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Kreminna, #Avdiivka, and #Donetsk City amid continued positional fighting along the entire line of contact on February 8
#Russian Telegram channels reported that the interview with #Carlson and Carlson himself was not to #Putin's liking, and the interview itself was considered a failure.
"The #Russian president mocks what #Russia is really doing in #Ukraine and gives a completely absurd explanation about the causes of this war. This makes it all the clearer for us: we remain firmly on Ukraine’s side."
To historians, the litany of claims made by Mr Putin are nonsense - representing nothing more than a selective abuse of history to justify the ongoing war in #Ukraine.
Regardless of the historical realities, none of Putin's assertions would form a legal justification for his invasion.
