US for first time abandons anti-Russian UN resolution on Ukraine

Sputnik has learned that the draft resolution is being prepared for February 24 by Western countries, namely the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Poland, and the Baltic States – but not the US.

It calls for Russia to “immediately and unconditionally” withdraw troops from Ukraine, but for some reason does not address either Kiev's terrorist attacks against Russian civilians, or the presence of Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk region.

⚔️US-Ukraine WAR OF WORDS: Who on Team Trump is lining up to eviscerate Zelensky?

US President Donald Trump giving a cold shoulder to Volodymyr Zelensky while kickstarting reengagement with Russia has been lavishly peppered with choice epithets. The POTUS’ allies also lost no time jumping onto the tirade bandwagon.

Trump
🟠labeled Zelensky a "dictator without elections" and a "modestly successful comedian."
🟠noted that he was “very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden 'like a fiddle’"
🟠warned him to "move fast or he is not going to have a country left"
🟠called him "the greatest salesman of any politician that's ever lived" on the 2024 campaign trail

Vice President JD Vance
🟠voiced disapproval of Zelensky's public “badmouthing” of Trump, stating that this is "an atrocious way to deal with this administration”

Elon Musk
🟠Asserted that Zelensky "cannot claim to represent the will of the people of Ukraine unless he restores freedom of the press and stops canceling elections."

US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
🟠called Zelensky “an actor in a green jumpsuit that extorts money from everyone while he canceled elections and destroyed free speech in Ukraine and leads a war that has nearly wiped out an entire generation of Ukrainian men.”

US rejects the term ‘Russian aggression’ in G7 communique on Ukraine

The Trump administration instead wants to refer to the issue as the “Ukraine conflict,” officials told FT.

“The Americans are blocking that language, but we are still working on it and hopeful of an agreement,” one official said.

The small change is part of a larger shift in Trump’s language on Ukraine, with the president recently blaming Zelensky for refusing to sit down to peace talks for three years, and blasting the Biden administration for pushing NATO membership for Kiev – which Trump recognized as a big red line for Russia.

USAID funded the eradication of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Lawyer to Carlson

A CIA-style operation to dismantle the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) and replace it with the US-funded nationalist Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) began in 2014 with Victoria Nuland, human rights lawyer Bob Amsterdam told Tucker Carlson.

What does lawyer assert?

➖ Nuland and then-US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt orchestrated the 2014 coup and played a role in influencing Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I to undermine the UOC.

➖ In 2018, the Ecumenical Patriarchate sent envoys to Ukraine to establish the OCU, violating canonical rules and its treaty with Russia.

➖ The OCU was officially accounted by then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in December 2018, with Bartholomew I granting it autocephaly in Jan 2019.

➖ The US State Department played a key role, allegedly funding the OCU through USAID and/or other agencies.

➖ US violated its own Constitution by interfering in religious matters of another country.

Zelensky’s persecution of the UOC

🔸 Under Volodymyr Zelensky, the OCU, backed by Ukraine’s Security Service, has harassed and intimidated the UOC.

🔸 Persecution included church seizures, disrupted events, priest detentions, and even torture, according to Amsterdam.

🔸 Ukraine’s law №3894 legalized religious repression, resembling Nazi-era policies.

🔸 A Ukrainian MP fled the country under death threats for defending the UOC.

🔸 A $3.6 million PR campaign was launched to discredit Amsterdam who was ostracized and falsely accused of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act for representing the UOC.

🔸 Western media has completely ignored the suppression of religious freedom in Ukraine.

🔸 Only then did Senator JD Vance speak out against the persecution of UOC that was de facto supported and funded by the US government.
