In the midst of this uncertain time, The Counteroffensive is using our trademark human interest reporting style to show how three different scenarios would be received by the #Ukrainian population.

But what is clear is that the #Trump administration seeks to pressure both sides to the negotiating table. #Fox News reported that #Trump will "soon" appoint a peace envoy to help negotiate an end to the #war.

Donald Trump’s choice to head the Pentagon is Pete #Hegseth, who has expressed skepticism of #NATO, and warned against “American intervention” in #Ukraine pushing #Russia into nuclear war with the U.S.

The president-elect’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi #Gabbard, opposes U.S. aid to Ukraine. When the 2022 full-scale invasion began, she said the #Biden administration could have avoided the war just by acknowledging Russia's "legitimate security concerns."

Trump’s CIA Director nominee, John #Ratcliffe, has claimed that the Biden administration’s strategy in the war has been “#Ukraine first, Ohio last," accusing the #Biden White House of promoting "welfare and Ukraine pensions" over American interests.

Incoming National Security Advisor Mike #Waltz has said he wants to “tak[e] the handcuffs” off by allowing Ukrainians to use U.S. weapons for long-range strikes, and enforcing U.S. sanctions against #Russia.

Donald Trump has chosen a confusing national security team, filled with internal contradictions on Ukraine policy, from supportive to hostile.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukraine’s hands.

Trump is likely to put pressure on Ukraine/Russia to negotiate.

Using human interest stories, we outlined three possible scenarios for the war's end: through the eyes of a vet, a former diplomat, and a Crimean refugee.

#Russian naval captain, Valery Trankovsky, was killed in an explosion after Ukraine's security service planted a car bomb in occupied Crimea.

Trankovsky was responsible for launching missiles at civilian targets, sources in the #Ukrainian #security service informed Reuters.

While the need for #military funding is growing, Ukrainians are donating less to the army, Bloomberg reports.

This may be due to #Russian territorial gains or #energy blackouts.

These donations cover all sorts of needs and provide supplies faster than gov. bureaucracy allows.
