Unelected. Unapologetic. Uncompromising. Andriy Yermak is not Ukraine’s president. But he often acts like one. He handpicks govt officials—and dismisses them. The PM and military brass frequently defer to him. My @FTMag profile of Ukraine's Green Cardinal ft.com/content/4d6114…

Ich finde es mutig und beeindruckend, dass sie jetzt öffentlich auftritt, das nicht einfach passiv hinnimmt, sich den Diskussionen stellt - und aufklärt wie es ist, was sie gerade durchmacht.

Is Melania influencing her husband on Ukraine?
Donald Trump: I speak to Putin a lot about getting this done, and I always hang up and say, "That was a nice phone call." I go home and tell the First Lady, "I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation." She says, "Oh, really? Another city was just bombed."
“Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? . . . Can you hit St Petersburg too?” Trump asked on the call.
Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russian territory, even asking Zelenskyy whether he could strike Moscow if the US provided long-range weapons, according to people briefed on the discussions. w/ @HenryJFoy & @maxseddon. ft.com/content/b66f03…
