Sen. Blumenthal on Ukraine Visit: Sadly, Peace Even a Ceasefire, Are Nowhere in Sight

‘It’s always uplifting and inspiring to spend time with Vladimir Zelenskyy’

EXCERPT:

BLUMENTHAL: “Always uplifting and inspiring to spend time with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, my seventh trip to Ukraine, most of them with Senator Graham, but I’ve met with him on numerous other occasions. And sadly, one of my main takeaways was that peace, even a ceasefire, are nowhere in sight. Obviously, Putin is launching, even as we speak, a major offensive mobilizing forces in the east, Donetsk and Luhansk and other territories. But the Istanbul proposal that he made yesterday shows how unserious he is about peace talks. He’s mocking Trump, playing him, and my visit to Ukraine confirmed for me that that country is in it for the long run, they’re planning for the future, they’ve pioneered and championed the revolution of ground warfare through the use of drones.”
