Eugene Vindman for Congress

I am outraged.

Trump just confirmed our worst fears: He and Pete Hegseth want to force Ukraine to cede its land to Russia in the name of a so-called “peace deal.”

Take a listen to what he said:

Tweet: Trump implies that since Russia 'fought for that land' in Ukraine 'and lost alot of soldiers' doing it, that Russia should keep it.I can't remember a darker day for the democratic world.

Trump and Hegseth believe Russia has earned Ukrainian land through war, and they see no future where Ukraine regains its rightful borders. This is not just appeasement—it’s an endorsement of Russian aggression.

The U.S. is a world power, yet Trump is willing to abandon our allies and betray democratic values to appease Putin. Facilitating and forcing Ukraine to cede its land to Russia does not uphold American values. We are meant to stand with those fighting for freedom, not force them into surrender.

While these statements are appalling, they are not surprising. In 2019, Trump tried to exploit Ukraine’s vulnerability by threatening to withhold military aid unless they launched a political investigation into President Biden. He made it clear then that he doesn’t value our allies — or democracy itself — and the same stands true today. Trump has never valued democracy and will choose fascism at home or abroad any day.

I stood up to Trump in 2019 when he made that fateful call that led to his first impeachment, and I will do everything in my power as a member of Congress to hold him accountable once again.

We will not abandon Ukraine.

But I need you by my side in this fight. Chip in $3 today to help us stand up to Trump’s dangerous agenda and defend Ukraine against Russian aggression. Every dollar makes a difference.
