I call on all Russian diplomats to resign in protest. Уважаемые дипломаты России, вы профессионалы а не дешёвые пропагандисты. Когда я работал в МИДе, я гордился своими коллегами. Сейчас просто нельзя поддерживать кровавую братоубийственную войну в Украине.
The President is grasping what some of his staffers don’t: Arming Ukraine is realism rooted in America’s interests. @WSJopinion x.com/andreivkozyrev…
@POTUS rejects Putin’s BS diplomacy—he just did the same to the Ayatollah. American power speaks for the new sheriff in town. Putin escalated while the West sent timid aid instead of the arms Ukraine needs to win. Not with this President. x.com/andreivkozyrev…
Must read The Commander in Chief is displaying weakness against Russia, which won’t produce a strong and lasting peace in Ukraine. @WSJopinion editorial. Exactly. x.com/andreivkozyrev…
Every day that Putin’s Russia continues its terror campaign in Ukraine proves that nuclear intimidation is an all-powerful tool of war — discrediting the deterrence resolve of the U.S. and its allies. No wonder China and North Korea are accelerating their nuclear buildup. 1/4
Putin's spokesman said time is not ripe for meeting president Trump and it should be on a global agenda. Translation: we don't see and don't expect potent American weapons or sanctions coming. So, the president can wait and work to earn a handshake with the Tzar. Outragious
Yes, sir @POTUS , that's the way to go👇. If only it would've been done in March 2022. You are the President and you can do it now. x.com/andreivkozyrev…
In March 2022 after Russia was defeated in the Battle for Kyiv, Donald Trump: - called to arm Ukraine with US weapons including missile-capable drones - dismissed Putin's redlines as bullshit - threatened US nuclear submarines to Russian coast if Putin continued nuclear blackmail
Mocking of the US and bombing of Ukraine is going on. “Fifty days — we’ve been through that. Twenty-four hours — we’ve been through that too. A hundred days — we’ve seen it all,” Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov said. x.com/andreivkozyrev…
Putin’s spokesman said President Trump made a serious statement and they will evaluate it, responding based on real consequences. Only potent arms — like Hellfires, long-range ATACMS, and Patriot missiles — would make them think twice. x.com/andreivkozyrev…

@POTUS statement on Russia — important indeed. But with Putin, actions speak louder than words. He’s been spoiled by years of sanctions and loud but empty persuasions, threats, and promises. He wages aggressive war — weapons are his language.
Sen. Jerry Moran: “We need to make certain Ukraine has the equipment necessary to win a just and lasting peace.” Exactly. Yet, again and again x.com/andreivkozyrev…
Putin launched a record overnight air attack right after President Trump vowed military aid to Ukraine. He’s used to mocking negotiations and brushing off three years of weak threats. Enough is enough! x.com/andreivkozyrev…
China warns: Appeasing Putin to deter us is a mistake. Wang Yi stated that Beijing doesn’t want Russia to lose the war in Ukraine, because a U.S. and allied victory would free them to shift focus to China. x.com/andreivkozyrev…
On strategy. China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia are challenging American security and economic interests worldwide as a cohesive group. Like a wolf pack, they track down a seemingly decrepit bison and chatter teeth sensing blood in Ukraine. Washington needs to develop a…

Russia’s attack last night on Ukraine makes it clear Putin is nothing more than a war criminal and a thug. And conducting such a massive strike directly after his call with President Trump is disrespectful to the president’s sincere attempts to bring peace. Now is the time to…
Yes, Russia’s sanctions-defying economy, propelled higher by the Ukraine war, is suddenly coming back down to earth wsj.com/world/russia/t… via @WSJ But x.com/andreivkozyrev…
2/3 Russia is suffering economically — sanctions contribute to that — but its drive to aggression will only be weakened if the invasion is defeated. x.com/andreivkozyrev…
Yes, you’ve made no progress with me, Putin thinks (believe me—I came from there). I’ve gotten away with this for almost six months—and ten years before that. I’m great, a model for Comrade Xi and foes of American build order around the world.
Ukraine has never asked America to send in the 82nd airborne; they’ve asked for the weapons to defend their homeland and people from Russia attacks. Letting Russia win this war would be a unmitigated disaster for the American people and our security around the world.
I think, you must report this to @POTUS . And x.com/andreivkozyrev…

"Pushing Russia to the negotiating table is only possible through logic and arguments. It is impossible to push Russia through pressure or force," the Putin's pressec said in Moscow. I heard this tune around. Was it an echo? x.com/andreivkozyrev…
