Another doc that makes clear how much Trump's assault on democracy helps Putin. (This is declaration from Stephen Capus, head of Radio Free Europe.) www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
9. As mentioned in my first declaration, layoffs due to RFE/RL's lack of funding from USAGM
pose grave security risks for our journalists. Many of our journalists from Russia, Belarus,
Iran, and elsewhere face threats of arrest if they return to their home countries because they no
longer have work visas through RFFJRL to lawfully stay in their current country of residence.
10. One example is Kanstantsin Lashkevich, Director of RFE/RL's Belarus Service. Mr.
Lashkevich joined RF E/RL's Belarus Service in 2017. Under his leadership, RFE/RL's Belarns
Service saw record audience engagement. During the 2020 presidential election, which
triggered months of protests, one in four Belarusian households followed RFE/RL's live
reporting. Ultimately, there was an escalating crackdown by the government and 16 RFE/RL
journalists were arrested, detained, and in some cases tortured. Three received lengthy prison
sentences (the Trump Administration secured the release of one of these three RFE/RL
journalists in February 2025). Following these arrests, in July 2021 , RFE/RL relocated Mr.
Lashkevich to our journalistic headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic. After Mr. Lashkevich
left Belarus, in December 2021 the Belamsian authorities labeled RFE/RL an "extremist
organization." Under the laws of Belarus, involvement in such an organization is punishable
by up to seven years' imprisomnent.
11. In December 2023, the Belamsian government launched a criminal case against Mr.
Lashkevich. Mr. Lashkevich remains in the Czech Republic on a residence permit tied to his
employment at RFE/RL. Should he lose his job with RFE/RL and have to return to Belarus, he
would almost certainly be arrested immediately.
12. In a similar situation are eight of RFE/RL's Russian journalists who currently legally reside in
Tbilisi or Riga as a result of their RFFJRL employment. Katerina Klepikovskaya, Elizaveta
Maetnaya, Maxim Matveychenkov, Svetlana Prokopyeva, Mikhail Sokolov, Mumin Shakirov,
Tatiena Voltskaya…

Now, Trump's blaming his 39-day delay (& counting) to end the war that Putin started between Russia and Ukraine, on Zelenskyy. He's seeking FURTHER delay, similar to his habitual tactics he's used for decades to delay, delay, delay. Trump NEVER accepts blame or takes responsibility for ANYTHING.
