Trump team urged Ukraine to take U.S. deportees amid war, documents show

The Trump administration earlier this year urged the Ukrainian government to accept an unspecified number of U.S. deportees who are citizens of other countries, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post, an extraordinary request of a nation at war and dependent on American military and financial support for its survival.

The documents do not indicate how officials in Kyiv responded to the late-January proposal, relayed by a senior U.S. diplomat, that called for sending third-country nationals to Ukraine amid Russia’s deadly, devastating invasion — and despite the absence of a functioning airport there b continual air attacks. A Ukrainian diplomat informed the U.S. Embassy only that her government would offer a response once it formulated a position, according to the documents, which show that similar proposals were issued to a number of other countries around the same date.

Ukraine has not accepted any third-party nationals from the United States, and there is no indication that Kyiv seriously considered the American proposal. Two Ukrainian officials familiar with the matter, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss interactions with the Trump administration, said the topic never reached the government’s highest level. One of the officials said he was unaware of any “political demands” made by the United States regarding its desire for Ukraine to take in deportees.

 

Explosions heard, bridge closed: Russia reports missile attack on Crimea

The temporarily occupied Crimea is under a massive attack by unknown flying objects. Explosions are heard in various parts of the peninsula, and Russian air defense systems are active, according to the Krymskiy veter Telegram channel and the "governor" of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev.

Around 9:30 PM Kyiv time, Razvozhayev reported that an air raid alert had been declared in Crimea.

Almost immediately after this, monitoring channels began reporting that the peninsula was under a large-scale missile attack. Missiles were reportedly spotted over Sevastopol, Alupka, Sudak, and Feodosia.

In response, the Russians halted maritime transport in the peninsula and even closed the Crimean Bridge. Furthermore, Russia claims that the missiles attacking Crimea are Neptune missiles, and they have already stated their success in shooting them down.

 

Anyone know why Kyiv is so worked up about a victory over Nazis parade in Moscow?

I know I have an idea.

 

my question is why wasn't this done years ago? scared of oil shortages?

Europe Prepares New Blow to Putin's Shadow Fleet

Vessels Russia uses to dodge Western sanctions on its energy exports will be targeted in a suite of measures by the European Union, it has been reported.

The European Commission is looking to add over 100 vessels from Russia's "shadow fleet" to its latest sanctions package to punish Vladimir Putin for his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to Reuters.

Ukrainian advocacy group Razom We Stand told Newsweek it welcomed the measures but they do not go far enough. Newsweek has contacted the Kremlin for comment.
