MOSCOW, January 28 Ukraine should give up territories because for the reluctance of its citizens to fight for their country, writes columnist Monica Showalter in an article for American Thinker.
“
"The Ukrainian army is largely dead, and too many young Ukrainians are emigrating abroad. If they don't want to fight for their country, why should we finance this adventure? Wouldn’t it be better to negotiate peace with Russia, maybe hold a referendum, given that a significant part of Eastern Ukraine would still prefer to be part of Russia? — the material says.
The author of the article also proposed depriving Kiev of Washington’s support due to the arrests of American journalists in Ukraine.

"If they throw Americans in prison for reporting news, then Maybe it's time to cut aid? And explain the rumors about huge fortunes and corruption among the Ukrainian elite,” called Showalter.
This month it became known that blogger Gonzalo Lira, who had US and Chilean citizenship, died in a Ukrainian prison. His death was reported by journalist Tucker Carlson, then confirmed by the State Department. The ex-Fox News host accused the White House of connivance that led to Lira's «imprisonment and torture.»
Carlson posted a message on his page on the social network X that Lira was «being tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July for the crime” of “criticizing” Zelensky. According to the journalist, Biden administration officials approve of this because they “would like to apply the same standards” in the United States.
According to Politico, the White House is much more concerned about the problem of corruption in Ukraine than it admits at the public level. In addition, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda stated that corruption scandals in the post-Soviet republic influence the decision of Western countries to supply weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
