Ex-US ambassador to Ukraine says Trump helped embolden Putin

Marie Yovanovitch, the former US Ambassador to Ukraine forced out by former President Donald Trump who also was a key witness at his first impeachment trial, says that Russian President Vladimir Putin's move toward conflict with the US and European allies was decades in the making.

She is so right to say Putin should not be allowed to dictate the terms for this awful situation. Slava Ukraini!

All of that was established during trump's impeachment trial. But his fellow comrades in the Republican party still gave him a pass.🤦🏽‍♀️

Marie Yovanovitch our ex-Ambassador to Ukrainian is unbelievably knowledgeable and what a loss the USA had when we lost her. And if the Republicans would have at least listen to the evidence presented at the first impeachment of Donald Trump we may not be in this situation. Also if Mitch McConnell would not have involved The filibuster at the second impeachment of Donald Trump where the evidence was so overwhelming it was unbelievable we definitely wouldn’t be in this situation and probably would’ve saved lotta lives in Ukraine 🇺🇦 . (Mitch McConnell I hope you’re very very proud)

Former U.S. ambassador Marie Yovanovitch is a good communicator. The ability to talk sense and dispel doubts and give us the Reader's Digest condensed version of The Trump Follies is quite a remarkable feat! Thanks!

Wholeheartedly agree with the Ambassador’s position that the US provide more defense systems for Ukraine and its people.

Marie's insight on this topic is enlightening and it shows why she became the US Ambassador to Ukraine. It's unfortunate that she was forced out of her position by the orange toddler.

Wow... This is a wow moment!... Trump removed this ambassador from the Ukraine?.. Trump's name just keeps popping up.. It's an embarrassment with the connections between Trump and Putin..

What we learn from history is that we don't learn from history!  😢

This woman, Marie Yovanovitch is brilliant!
Russia, Putin started this war and we can't let him set the parameters of this war!

[justmatt]

CNN blaming Trump. I didn’t see that coming 😂😂😂😂

[mavericky]

Americans need to know what was spoken between Putin and trump and a translator. Usually the head of states meet their counterparts with cadre of advisors

[paulajwhite]

The West needs to help, do more to save Ukraine, be strategically creative. The fight and resilience of Ukrainian people is heroic beyond words.

A madman is a madman, a conman is a conman. The world needs to stand together and take firm actions.
