We saw the President of the United States united with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to undermine Ukraine’s independence and her democracy. Let’s be frank: Trump shows us that he sees one of the most severe The dictators of the world with their friend, and our ancient democratic allies in Europe – his enemies.

Details: Sanders reminded that Trump, in particular, lied that Ukraine had launched a war.
“Trump yesterday said that Ukraine had begun war. It was not true. Russia invaded Ukraine twice: first in 2014 and then again in 2022. Now Russia occupied about 20% of Ukraine’s territory. After the horrific invasion of Putin, more than a million people were killed or killed or killed or killed wounded.
Every day, Russia continues to fire Ukrainian cities with hundreds of rockets and drones. Putin forces kill civilians and abduct thousands of Ukrainian children, taking them to Russian so -called “re -education” camps, “Sanders said.
The senator recalled that in 2023 the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Putin’s arrest as a military criminal in 2023.
“Further Trump called the Ukrainian president of Zelensky a dictator. This is not true too. Zelensky received 75% of the vote in the free elections. And in fact, the approval rating is higher than that of Trump, “Sanders said.
He stressed that in the midst of a cruel war, the Ukrainian Parliament continues to function and there are free and unlimited political debates.
“Trump stated that our European allies made little to support Ukraine in its fight against Putin’s invasion. He He said that the United States made a contribution three times greater than Europe. But it’s just another lie. In fact, Europe provided more assistance to Ukraine than the US, “the senator said.
Sanders emphasized that it is not just that Trump is lying again, because he is no longer news. The point is that, Where exactly the US president wants to get his country.
“All this testifies to where he wants to get our country and actually the whole world. Trump communicates cozy with Vladimir Putin. So who is Putin? Cold War. He tries to hide the falsification, “said American senator.
He recalled that in Putin Russia there are no freedom of speech and free media, protests are severely suppressed, tens of thousands of people persecute and imprison, and some, “as Alexei Navalny, are killed.”
According to him, since the invasion of Russia in Ukraine “hundreds of thousands of Russians fled from the Putin cruel regime”, but the Kremlin’s head retained control of his country, offering Russian oligarchs a simple agreement: if you give me absolute power, I will allow you to steal in the Russian people as much as you want.
“And that is why in a country where many are fighting economic difficulties, Russian oligarchs hid trillions of dollars in offshore accounts,” Sanders said.
“That’s the Russian leader who admires Trump. Here is the Russian oligarchy he supports. But it is not the point of view of the American people. We know, and we are proud of the United States of America are the oldest democracy in the world. We know that we know that Many hundreds of thousands of brave Americans have fought and died, protecting democracy. Countries that believe in democracy, not in authoritarianism.
At this critical moment of our history, I hope that every American, regardless of political views, will say “so” democracy, “no” oligarchy and “no” authoritarianism, ” – summed up Senator Sanders.
