I believe there are few, if any, nations in the modern world where independence means as much today as it does in Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight for independence took centuries. And when we finally got it after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, its successor, Russia, soon tried to subjugate Ukraine again. I’m Ukrainian but my first words were in Russian. In fact, all of my words were in Russian until I started school. Like many other Ukrainian families, mine used to be Ukrainian-speaking once, but was Russified over recent generations The big bang that changed it all happened in 2014....

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) pointed out that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris bragged about a trip to Europe she took to warn Russia not to invade Ukraine days before Russia did exactly that and so she’s bragging about an incident that shows Russia ignored her and didn’t take her seriously. Waltz said, “[I]t was such a misleading statement on her part that she traveled to Europe to warn Zelensky. No, I’m looking at [the] actual CNN site. She traveled to Europe to send a clear message to Russia to [not]...
