I think the characterization of these volunteers as “mercenaries” (which is a pejorative term for a private contract security forces) is false and...
Some more information on the distinction between humanitarian aid (which is paused) and military aid (which continues) to Ukraine. From what I can...
I have always said that it didn't exist, so I'll stand on that.
Kind of outside of the scope of this thread, but I have no problem with a review to see if our foreign humanitarian aid is achieving its intended...
That is true. Also I’m not sure if we provide meaningful “humanitarian aid” to Ukraine as this order defines it. The deal we have struck with...

What do you mean?
I partially agree with your points, but surely you see a diminishing point of returns with material support. I, too, want to see Ukraine better...
