„I am sure @POTUS @realDonaldTrump sand his envoys to Russia, @SteveWitkoff (@SEPeaceMissions) and @jaredkushner, sincerely want to stop the killing in Ukraine,

but they are failing and will continue to fail as long as they persist in their naïve view that this is just a big real estate deal and that their backgrounds in real estate give them an advantage. It is utter nonsense on multiple levels.
@lawandliberty1 @AmbDanFried @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @jaredkushner 3).
For starters, yes, you could say that Vladimir Pootin is in the real estate business in Ukraine, but not in the way Trump or Witkoff or Kushner have been in the business.
@lawandliberty1 @AmbDanFried @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @jaredkushner 4).
Pootin is in the real estate business in Ukraine the same way Hitler was in the real estate business in Poland. Hitler coveted territory not to build a hotel or housing for profit to benefit the local residents.
@lawandliberty1 @AmbDanFried @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @jaredkushner 5).
He, instead, coveted real estate to fulfill a nationalist fantasy. Ditto Pootin. He has shown no interest in the welfare of Ukraine’s people.”

Excerpt from an article [1] by @tomfriedman [2] [3]

„The House on Wed. easily passed the annual defense policy bill, sending the mammoth, $900 billion measure to the Senate ahead of the year-end deadline.
@michaeldweiss 2).
The measure, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the lower chamber by a vote of 312-112. Ninety-four Democrats and 18 Republicans opposed the bill.
@michaeldweiss 3).
The NDAA, a traditionally bipartisan bill that lays out defense priorities for the next year, would increase pay for service members, provide some military aid to Ukraine [1], restrict U.S. investment in China and fully repeal sanctions on Syria, among other things.
Frohnmaier stand wiederholt wegen seiner Kontakte zu russischen Politikern und deren Einflussnahme auf ihn in der Kritik.
@anyone1953 @AmbDanFried @schieritz 2).
Recherchen verschiedener Medien legen nahe, dass die Regierung der Russischen Föderation durch die Unterstützung Frohnmaiers Einfluss auf den Deutschen Bundestag nehmen wollte und ihn daher im Wahlkampf zur Bundestagswahl 2017 gezielt unterstützt habe [1] [2] [3].
@anyone1953 @AmbDanFried @schieritz 3).
In einem Strategiepapier der Präsidialverwaltung des russischen Staatschefs Wladimir Putin wird Frohnmaier als »ein unter absoluter Kontrolle stehender Abgeordneter« bezeichnet [4].

Russian invitees to the Jan. 31 [2017] dinner were also provided a list of a dozen Americans they could expect to meet there, complete with Russian-language biographical bullet points and color photos of most attendees. It’s unclear who compiled the guest list.

Others on the list include Representative @RepThomasMassie, a Ky. Republican (»in favor of Russian-American dialogue«, the list noted),

„To frontline states such as Poland, for example, it is already a matter of fact that Russia now poses as great a threat to civilian life in Europe [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] as does Islamist terrorism,

the main preoccupation of domestic intelligence agencies on the continent over the past two decades.”

„ @NathalieTocci, the director of Italy’s Instituto Affari Internazionale [1] [2], said [3] Europeans had »lulled themselves into the belief« that @realDonaldTrump was »unpredictable and inconsistent, but ultimately manageable. This is reassuring, but wrong«.
@michaeldweiss @NathalieTocci @realDonaldTrump 2).
The Trump administration had »a clear and consistent vision for Europe: one that prioritises US-Russia ties and seeks to divide and conquer the continent, with much of the dirty work carried out by nationalist, far-right European forces«, she said.
@michaeldweiss @NathalieTocci @realDonaldTrump 3).
Those forces “share the nationalist and socially conservative views championed by Maga and are also working to divide Europe and hollow out the European project”, Tocci said, arguing that flattering Trump »will not save the transatlantic relationship«.”

– „»On the territory issue, Americans are simple: Russia demands Ukraine to give up territories, and Americans keep thinking how to make it happen«

– a senior European official familiar with the negotiation process told POLITICO on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.
– »The Americans insist that Ukraine must leave the Donbas … one way or another« – the official added.”
