A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.

Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine’s parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday that he had “lost any sort of faith and belief” in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Merezhko said Trump had “virtually no reaction” to large-scale strikes on the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks, adding: “He has chosen the path of appeasement.”

    This FUCK is unbelievable. He wants a cookie for withdrawing a nomination which should never have been made in the first place? Should we applaud?

    Read this garbage, talking about appeasement. This Merezhko a fascist himself, and every accusation is a confession. What about the literal far right extremists and nazi sympathizers in Ukraine who are responsible for the maidan massacre and helped grab power and start and escalate the civil war? What a fucking farce.

    It needs to become clear to everyone that you can’t just demonize Putin and deify tools like Trump or also Obama. They all play geopolitics. They all only care about gaining and maintaining power. The world has gone fucking insane believing this shit.
