Senator Demands Biden Admin Reveal if American Trans ‘Spokesperson’ for Ukraine Military Has U.S. Intelligence Ties (VIDEO)

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) has written to top Biden administration officials demanding the White House reveal if Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, a transgender individual claiming to be a spokesperson for the Ukrainian military, has ties to American intelligence services and if U.S. funds are currently subsidising Ashton-Cirillo’s apparent role in Ukraine after the personality went viral vowing that Russian “propagandists will be hunted down”.

In a letter, seen by Breitbart News, to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance has requested any information the U.S. government has on apparently American-born former freelance journalist Sarah Ashton-Cirillo — born Michael John Cirillo — who reportedly became a spokesperson for the Ukrainian military earlier this year.

Appearing before a backdrop featuring the logo for the Territorial Defence of Ukraine (TDF) — a branch of Kyiv’s military — Ashton-Cirillo posted a video message earlier this week on social media declaring that Ukraine will “hunt down” alleged allies of the Kremlin operating in Ukraine as “propagandists”.

“Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam an uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favourite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes. And this puppet of Putin is only the first. Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty and complete liberation,” the apparent Ukrainian spokesman warned.

The ominous message, which quickly went viral, has sparked many questions about Ashton-Cirillo’s background and alleged current role with the Ukrainian military, including from Sen. Vance.

Now Even the Left Recognizes Ukraine’s Counter-Offensive Has Failed. The Deep State Must Prepare for Humiliation

Time is running out for Ukraine. After 18 months of war, it is no longer a question of if the Western alliance will falter, but when. . .

Now, polls in both Europe and the US show public support for military aid to Kyiv dropping away, with one recent survey indicating that less than 50 per cent of Americans are in favor of additional funding. This at least partially reflects sluggish progress in Ukraine’s counter-offensive, which has seen only limited gains so far.

Western military analysts and the media built expectations that, this summer, Kyiv would repeat its striking victories of last autumn at Kharkiv and Kherson. Now, people are wondering how much bang they are getting for their buck, and whether the significant investment made by their countries will ever achieve anything concrete. . .

There is also growing disquiet about Ukrainian corruption, amplified by those voices who oppose American engagement in Europe for other reasons. . .

Biden will be exerting pressure on Kyiv to come to terms, sooner or later. . . Putin is only likely to play ball – though this is far from certain – provided he can keep the Ukrainian territory he has illegally annexed, and Ukraine’s NATO membership is kept permanently off the table. That would obviously be a disaster for Ukraine, but it would also be a defeat for NATO. . . If anything like this scenario plays out, a humiliated West will need a robust damage-limitation strategy.

Controlled Legacy Media Concedes Defeat: Ukraine’s Objectives ‘No Longer Aligned With’ West’s as Russia ‘No Longer a Threat’

Kyiv has received unprecedented military support to help it repel the Russian invaders – even though Ukraine is not a member of NATO. And, earlier in the summer, Rishi Sunak and Joe Biden stressed their “unwavering support” for Ukraine, with the president saying the US will help Kyiv for “as long as it takes”.

However, questions are now being asked about whether or not this stance is in the best interests of Britain, the United States and other NATO members. Especially given the huge financial cost of providing this support, during the aftermath of the Covid pandemic and amid a domestic cost of living crisis.

During a joint press conference with Sunak at the White House back in June, Biden was asked about hesitation over more funding for Ukraine among some lawmakers in the Republican Party. The president responded: “I believe we’ll have the funding necessary to support Ukraine as long as it takes. And I believe that that support will be real, even though you hear some voices today on Capitol Hill about whether or not we should continue to support Ukraine and for how long we should support them” . . .

Some analysts now believe that – as the war grinds on – continuing to write cheques for Ukraine may longer be in the West’s best interests. And a recent CNN poll shows that most Americans oppose Congress authorizing additional funding to support Ukraine.

European Officials Praised Ukraine’s Anti-corruption Reforms Right Before Joe Biden Got Prosecutor Fired, Memo Shows

European Commission officials praised Ukraine’s anti-corruption reforms right before then-Vice President Joe Biden successfully pressured Ukraine into firing then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

The European Commission wrote a report in December 2015 that laid out how Ukraine was progressing in its efforts to fight corruption, months before Shokin was fired because of threats from Joe Biden to withhold a $1 billion loan guarantee from Ukraine, the New York Post and Just the News first reported.

The European Commission officials noted how Shokin was appointed head of Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) after an intensive selection process.

“The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) was created, its head was appointed on 16 April 2015 following an open and competitive selection process, and around 100 investigators have been recruited and trained. The establishment of the NABU is therefore well-on track,” the memo reads.

White House Says North Korea Will ‘Pay a Price’ if It Supplies Russia With Weapons

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday that North Korea would face consequences if it supplies Russia with weapons amid its ongoing war with Ukraine.

“Providing weapons to Russia for use on the battlefield to attack grain silos and the heating infrastructure of major cities as we head into winter to try to conquer territory that belongs to another sovereign nation,” Sullivan said. “This is not going to reflect well on North Korea, and they will pay a price for this in the international community.”

Sullivan’s remarks come after reports that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may soon meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate on weapons. Senior Biden administration officials told The Washington Post that Kim plans to make a rare trip out of North Korea to meet with Putin later this month.

“It says a lot that Russia is having to turn to a country like North Korea to seek to bolster its defense capacity in a war that it expected would be over a week,” he added. “That in September of 2023, it is going to North Korea to get munitions to try to continue to grind out on the battlefield in Ukraine.” (Read more from “White House Says North Korea Will ‘Pay a Price’ if It Supplies Russia With Weapons” HERE)

Russian Official Says the US Is Turning Ukrainians Into a ‘Gay Zombie Army’

“These renewed troops of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, zombified and unified through gay sex, along with cult members ready to sacrifice themselves. This is what they’re preparing for us in the spring 2025.”

These were the words of Sergei Markov, a Russian political scientist and former advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a recent television appearance on Russian state television.

Markov is a former member of the Russian State Duma, the lower house of the country’s federal legislative body, a professor of political science at Moscow State University, and a lecturer on philosophy. He’s also known for his wild reactionary statements. His claim that the Ukrainian Army will suddenly become homosexual supersoldiers is just the latest.

“Military theorists and historians know which army in Greece was the strongest, remember? The Spartans! They were united by a homosexual brotherhood. These were the politics of their leadership. I think they are planning the same for Ukraine’s Armed Forces,” Markov said.

Markov is correct in his assertion that homosexuality in ancient Greece, and especially Sparta, was the norm. Historians Plato and Plutarch wrote extensively about the Spartan customs. Spartans were also one of many Greek forces remembered as elite warriors today. His assertion that the Spartans’ battlefield prowess was the result of their sexual relationships is less clear to historians.

Pathetic: Biden to Send Maui Less Than One-Tenth of One Percent of What He Wants to Send Ukraine

President Joe Biden is asking Congress to approve $24 billion more in aid for Ukraine, which would bring the total amount of U.S. taxpayer-funded aid to Ukraine since February 2022 to $135 billion.

In contrast, Biden announced Wednesday that he would send $95 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to aid in rebuilding Maui after the nation’s deadliest fire in over a century, which has claimed more than 115 lives, with hundreds still unaccounted for.

The $95 million is less than one-tenth of one percent of the $135 billion that Biden is seeking to spend on aid to Ukraine in a war that has no end in sight.

The announcement came after Biden offered Maui households affected by the fire a one-time payment of $700 each — less than the $900 each household spends on the Ukraine war, according to a calculation by a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation.

A Maui resident who is leading grassroots relief efforts on the ground told Breitbart News that the $700 amount was “laughable.” (Read more from “Pathetic: Biden to Send Maui Less Than One-Tenth of One Percent of What He Wants to Send Ukraine” HERE)

Entitled: Zelensky Says He Won’t Hold Elections Unless Americans Pay For Them

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year.

In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process.

The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.

Zelensky said that he discussed the topic of funding for the 2024 elections with U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been one of the staunchest supporters of sending more aid to Ukraine on Capitol Hill.

“I told [Sen. Graham]: If the United States and Europe give us financial support… I’m sorry, I will not hold elections on credit, I will not take money from weapons and give it to elections either. But if you give me this financial support, if the parliamentarians realize that we need to do this, then let’s quickly change the legislation and, most importantly, let’s take risks together,” Zelensky said.

Former Top Ukraine Prosecutor Comes Out Swinging Against Joe and Hunter Biden

In an exclusive interview with Fox News, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin detailed the involvement he believed President Biden, the then-vice president, played in his firing and how it involved Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

During the interview with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, Shokin said he was ousted in 2016 because he was investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company where Hunter Biden served on the board. Shokin also claimed that Joe and Hunter Biden accepted bribes in the case, and that the then-vice president ultimately hurt America’s reputation and created the groundwork for Russia to invade Ukraine.

“I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then Vice President Biden because I was investigating Burisma,” Shokin told Fox News in the interview which aired Saturday evening.

“You understood me correctly, this is how it was,” he added after a follow-up question from Kilmeade about Biden’s involvement. “There were no complaints whatsoever and no problems with how I was performing at my job. But because pressure was repeatedly put on [then-Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko, that is what ended up in him firing me.” . . .

In March 2016, Poroshenko ousted Shokin, who was appointed one year earlier, after facing pressure from the U.S. government. The international community, led by the U.S. and then-Vice President Biden who led U.S.-Ukraine policy, believed Shokin was allowing corruption to fester in the nation’s government and his own office.

Ukraine Hoists Flag During Operation in Occupied Crimea

Ukraine’s military conducted an overnight operation on the Russian-occupied Crimea Peninsula.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, with navy support, launched the attack from the water and came up near the Olenivka and Maiak settlements on the western tip of Crimea, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Directorate of Intelligence said in a statement.

“When performing the task, Ukrainian defenders engaged in [a] combat clash with the units of [R]ussian occupiers. As a result, the enemy suffered personnel and equipment losses. Also, the National Flag has been hoisted once again in the Ukrainian Crimea,” the statement continued. “All objectives and tasks were fulfilled. As the special operation was completed, Ukrainian defenders left the scene without casualties.”

The statement did not specify what the goals of the mission were, despite saying the goal was accomplished. Thursday is Ukrainian Independence Day. (Read more from “Ukraine Hoists Flag During Operation in Occupied Crimea” HERE)
