To the editor: There may be nothing extra merciless than the deaths of youngsters (“Russia unleashes large-scale drone attack on Ukraine, forcing evacuations across the country,” Oct. 22). The White Home has dangled a carrot in entrance of Ukraine for the whole lot of 2025, together with taking a gathering in Alaska to provide the looks that President Trump is severe about ending the conflict. That occasion, nonetheless, was simply extra self-promotion and aggrandizing.
He met once more with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the White Home, the place Zelensky was as deferential as attainable. What a punishing factor to do: getting the hopes up of Zelensky, the Ukrainian folks and people dad and mom who misplaced their kids in the newest bombings by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian military.
This subject is repeatedly introduced up and repeatedly dropped with out decision. The heartlessness of Trump and his Cupboard is on show once more. Not new, however once more, nothing is extra cruel than the deaths of youngsters.
