🚨Former ambassador to #Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said she was forced out on “the next plane” as a “direct result” of pressure @realDonaldTrump placed on @StateDept, due to false accusations made by @RudyGiuliani.

Yovanovitch was “incredulous” that State decided to remove her based on “unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives,” adding that Rudy’s #Ukrainegate henchmen’s “personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-#corruption policy in #Ukraine.”🤬
Trump and cronies never understood that the vast majority of State’s civil servants are patriots who serve our country, NOT any political party.

HUGE thanks to Ambassador Yovanovitch for her dedicated service and courage in speaking TRUTH to power.🇺🇸💙💖

#Breaking Turkey announces the start of its operation in the territory currently currently by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces
#Breaking

In a phone call, Russian president Putin urges Turkish president Erdogan to “assess the situation carefully” so that the Turkish operation does not hurt “peace efforts” in Syria (the Astana process).
The Turkish invasion, dubbed “Spring of Peace”, will likely be in stages over several months.

Probably a play on the word for one of the two towns, with large Arab population, that the operation might start with — Ras al-Ayn (Serê Kaniyê).
