Honored to bring you an exclusive interview with Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa soon for the @nypost. We just concluded our wide-ranging discussion here in Kyiv.

America has spent less than 1% of its federal budget to help the bravest people on Earth defend themselves. If that fainthearted stream has kept Russia’s army at bay, it doesn’t prove our strength — it demonstrates Moscow’s weakness My latest for @NYPostOpinion #ArmUkraineToWin
Some Americans would rather Trump lose than Ukraine win. Meaghan Mobbs is correct:
Some of the responses highlight a troubling contradiction: people who claim to support Ukraine are more focused on attacking Trump than confronting a growing Russian propaganda line - that the war in Ukraine is a direct result of the Russian collusion narrative.
Today started with the meeting with government officials and representatives of law enforcement agencies. Of course, everyone has heard what people are saying these days – on social media, to each other, on the streets. It's not falling on deaf ears. We analyzed all concerns,…

False. The Ukraine conflict began in 2014, with the unlawful annexation of Crimea. The hoax did mislead a large swath of the American people and desensitized them to any notion of Russian malfeasance. Reminder - President Trump sent javelins to Ukraine. Obama sent blankets.
Russians murdered a 10 year old boy this morning while Europeans were crying over their local cafe being temporarily out of organic almond milk, instead having to suffer through the hardship of cappuccino infused with a cheap oatmilk variety.
Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov and his guests threatened Norway, Germany, America, Ukraine and Poland. They've explained why the negotiations are pointless and predicted that after 50 days, Trump will keep delaying new sanctions, 50 days at a time. youtube.com/watch?v=fy5rS7…

This is huge: The @USArmy treats Ukraine as an equal partner. Yea of course it's absurd that the US Army is making a huge deal what Ukrainians have been doing for years. But damn! The ice is thawing. Are the two greatest freedom allies coming together? ⤵️
Lol. The US military has a stupid amount of lessons to learn from Ukraine.
Have you ever
At least one person was killed in the strikes on Kyiv overnight. nypost.com/2025/07/21/wor…
Highlights from my interview with @ZelenskyyUa.
Zelenskyy: I talked with President Trump. We are talking a serious drone mega deal with the US. Trump understands these technologies are needed in the American arsenal. The new war is war of technology, and you need drones for defense. 1/
