Trump must stand firm against Russian aggression in Ukraine

On Sunday, tensions between Ukraine and Russia flared. According to Ukrainian authorities, a Russian coast guard vessel rammed, opened fire on and eventually seized Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea.

In Washington, President Trump fired off a tweet that opened with “Europe has to pay their fair share for Military Protection” while remaining silent on the clash in the Black Sea. As Russia pursues increasingly belligerent action in Ukraine, Trump must stand firmly and clearly against Moscow’s aggression.
