Encouraging words from Trump about Ukraine’s strength and Russia’s weakness, but words alone don’t win wars. Ukraine needs consistent action, unity from allies, and real pressure on Moscow. The spirit is there, now it’s about follow-through.

Here we go? Russia has been violating borders and bombing Ukraine for years. The real question is: when will you finally treat Putin as the aggressor he is, instead of acting surprised?

While Ukraine suffers another brutal attack, Poland is forced to defend its skies. And Trump thinks Putin is a “partner” for peace? Appeasement won’t stop missiles, only real pressure will.

All this endless talking… It’s time to pull out all the stops on sanctions, not just one or two at a time. Impose every possible measure that can shake Putin’s regime. This war drags on because of half-measures.
