NYT Board To GOP: “Stand Up To Trump On Ukraine”

From the New York Times editorial board:

The volume of misinformation and betrayal here is breathtaking. The very act of discussing an end to the war without the presence of Ukraine or any other ally at the table violates the fundamental principle the United States has proclaimed from the outset of its support for Ukraine, “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” That alone is a huge victory for Mr. Putin, who portrays his war as a struggle for spheres of influence among great powers rather than the brutal land grab that it is.

Republican members of Congress must see that. They surely realize how crucial America’s close alliances with Ukraine and Europe have been to promoting stability, maintaining national security, fostering economic growth and containing the spread of anti-democratic forces since World War II. Most of them have been outspoken supporters of Ukraine since the February 2022 invasion, sometimes assailing the Biden administration for doing too little. They know this is no time to abandon Ukraine, and they know who the villain is in this story.
