Velshi Banned Book Club: Ukrainian literature and the 'weight of history' - Velshi - MSNBC

Despite losing Ukrainian authors, journalists, artists, and more than a third of the nation’s book printing capacity, demand for Ukrainian literature is on the rise as Ukrainians strive to secure their future and preserve their history.

“The weight of history is really the motivating force for Ukrainians resisting today,” says Ukrainian author and Journalist Yaroslav Trofimov. “They know that the alternative of surrender is actually worse than the tremendous casualties and destruction that occur today.” - Aired on 02/22/2025.

And you're completely right, TFG is attempting to follow in Putin's footsteps as well as following Project 2025 exactly. And we can't say we weren't warned.

Also, my first thought was that wasn't TFG impeached for the first time over the same behavior, attempting to blackmail Ukraine, before? This guy is truly incapable of learning and continues to believe he's above any U.S. law.
