The U.S.'s Catastrophic Role in Ukraine

Posted: 15th August 2025

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS

Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J.S. Davies

Our book explains why Russia’s aggression does not exonerate the United States for its own catastrophic role in the disintegration and destruction of Ukraine. Trump must own up to this reality when he meets Putin in Alaska if he hopes to make peace with Russia and save Ukraine.
