Trump, with his massive insults of Zelensky this past Friday, and his alarming embrace of Putin and his attacks on Ukraine, has caused this to happen: “America is no longer the leader of the free world.”

The article explains why Ukrainian neutrality is still the key to peace, just as it was when Ukraine and Russia negotiated a draft peace agreement in March and April 2022, which the United States tragically rejected and blocked.

Putin’s warning came as reports surfaced suggesting that U.S. President Joe Biden is considering allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets, marking a dangerous new phase in the two-and-a-half-year war.
