Ukraine has again returned to center stage in a critical international pirouette involving Russia and the United States for the first time since Moscow annexed Crimea five years ago. With media reports suggesting that President Trump pressured Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's son during a phone call in July, a host of complex diplomatic and political forces have converged again in this corner of eastern Europe.

David AndelmanZelensky, a former comedian, secured a landslide election victory in April. With no previous experience as a politician, he has to confront Russia's occupation of Crimea, as well as the ongoing conflict in the eastern region of Donbas with Russia-backed separatists.This may be a unique moment in the modern history of Ukraine.

Opinion It all depends upon the level of honesty within Zelensky. Will he cave to dishonesty, or be the president UKR needs instead, like he promised? Because what is given can also be taken away at will. I pray he keeps that safely in mind.

Opinion We all betting on Trump only losers bet against him

Opinion Lol, Trump has a 52℅ approval number right now, 6℅ higher than Obama at this same time, he will be reelected, but it will have nothing to do with Putin or any other fake news story you come up with, it will be because he is fulfilling all his promises and 'All' are doing better

Opinion Oh good heavens CNN.... there you go again ..thinking that Putin is controlling the election. This must be very unnerving to you, considering all you do to trash Trump. I’m more concerned with social media controlling an election, than Russia .. you should be too!

Trump urged Ukraine president eight times during call to investigate Joe Biden's son, report saysThe Wall Street Journal's report came as a top Ukraine official said President Donald Trump 'is looking' for Ukraine officials to investigate business dealings of Biden's son 'to discredit' Biden as he seeks the Democratic presidential nomination. They should of done so also. Then we would of bee able to bring charges against Joe Biden's son instead of him taking our money to get his son off charges Trump needs to go, and anyone who disagrees is simply a person who advocates ignoring the law in favor of their political preferences and should therefore be ignored. And he will continue to break our laws until he is held accountable. What happened to 'the grand old party?' GOP Vote for Democrats.
