Edition No110 | 11-03-2025 - Yesterday’s episode has proved to be tremendously popular and provoked an intense debate in the comments section. So here goes, part 2 with a breakdown of the indicators that Trump’s actions, rather than his words, are following an increasingly pro-Russian position.

1) Voting with Russia in both the UN General Assembly and Security Council.
2) Vetoing statement by the G7 that seek to condemn Russia and create consensus.
3) Vetoing G7 proposal for a task force to combat Russian shadow oil fleet.
4) Cutting off military aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine, including F16 data.
5) Halting cyber operations against Russia, dismantling barriers to foreign interference.
6) Indicating that US joint military training operations in Europe would be suspended.
7) Undermining NATO by casting doubt on commitment to Article 5 / ‘delinquent’ allies.
8) Perpetuating and amplifying Russian talking points in America’s legislatures.

Where is the US getting its framework for concessions it is suggesting to Ukraine? We need to look back at the Istanbul negotiations of 2022, which involved preliminary peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, but where Russia’s demands were too punitive for Ukraine to accept. The long-term implications of the Istanbul framework would have been Ukrainian isolation and long-term capitulation. Now these are the conditions that Biden rightly rejected, but which Trump has resurrected and is seek to pressure (by all means available) Ukraine to accept, despite the deeply problematic implications, and lack of realism behind them.

Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtain

Our first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success. Now we need to maintain this momentum, and change the tide towards a Ukrainian victory. The Silicon Curtain Roadshow is an ambitious campaign to run a minimum of 12 events in 2025, and potentially many more. We may add more venues to the program, depending on the success of the fundraising campaign.
