Feb 2025

Truth No. 1: Vladimir Putin started this war, despite what Trump said days ago.

Truth No. 2: Russia is fighting for conquest.

Truth No. 3: Ukraine is fighting for its independence.

Truth No. 4: Ukrainians are not Russians. Ukrainians and Russians are not “one people — a single whole,”

Truth No. 5: Putin is a dictator.

Truth No. 6: Zelensky is not a dictator.

Truth No. 7: Russia is not a friend of the US. It is a hostile, nuclear-armed state that resents American power and the world the US has built.

Truth No. 8: Ukraine is a friend of the US. Ukraine wants to be part of the American-led order.

Truth No. 9: Putin cannot be trusted.

Truth No. 10: American aid to Ukraine is not being wasted.
