Some ofcls involved in the working groups said they are concerned that the #Trump admin is de-prioritizing the issue despite #intelligence warnings. The change follows the unwinding of other #Russia-focused projects launched by #Biden’s admin.
The #FBI last month ended an effort to counter US #ElectionInterference by foreign adversaries including Russia & put on leave staff working on the issue at #DHS. The #DOJ also disbanded a team that seized the assets of #RussianOligarchs.

Regular meetings between the NSC & #Europe’s #NationalSecurity ofcls have gone unscheduled, & the NSC has also stopped formally coordinating efforts across #US agencies, including w/the #FBI, #DHS & the #State Dept….
Reuters could not determine whether #Trump has ordered the admin to halt all its work monitoring & combatting #Russia’s campaign….

President Joe #Biden last year ordered his #NationalSecurity team to establish working groups to monitor the issue amid warnings from US #intelligence that Russia was escalating a shadow war against Western nations.
The plan was led by Biden's #NSC & involved at least 7 national security agencies working w/European allies to disrupt plots targeting #Europe & the #UnitedStates….

The bipartisan letter, signed by 17 lawmakers & organized by Representative Greg Landsman, #Democrat of Ohio, said that “the #ForeignAid freeze has jeopardized, & may ultimately eliminate, our informational support of #Ukraine on this front.”
The #State Dept & the Yale center “had been preserving evidence of #abducted #children from Ukraine it had identified, to be shared w/ #Europol & the govt of Ukraine to secure their return,” the letter says.

The work on the #abducted #children by the #Yale School of #PublicHealth #Humanitarian #Research Lab was frozen when #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder in late January halting almost all #ForeignAid. Since then, #MarcoRubio & an official under him, #PeteMarocco, have ended the vast majority of foreign #aid contracts, including the one to the Yale lab.
The US #State Dept has ended funding for the tracking of tens of thousands of #UkrainianChildren abducted by #Russia, & American ofcls or contractors might have deleted a database w/info on them, acc/to a letter US lawmakers sent to Secy of State #MarcoRubio on Wednesday.
When ever #Trump makes the "perfect phone call" it's safe to assume someone got blackmailed!

The statement from the White House on Trump's call with #Putin suggests that #Trump has backed down on his demand for an immediate ground, air and sea truce.
Instead, Putin has agreed to halt long-range missile strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
This was, in fact, a #Ukrainian proposal that the Americans side-stepped a week ago.
Trump and Putin also appear to have agreed to immediate technical-level talks toward a longer-term settlement. The #Kremlin said this must be "complex, stable and long-term in nature".
However, it's not clear if this means further talks between the US and Russia or bilateral negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
But, crucially, Putin has placed a major condition on this - one that is existential for Ukraine.
The Kremlin statement reads that a key stipulation for "preventing the escalation of the conflict and working toward its resolution" should be "the complete cessation of foreign military aid and sharing intelligence with Kyiv".
Putin has already tasted Trump's readiness to cut off US support to Ukraine, and is trying to get him to repeat it - while tossing the ball back to Kyiv to agree to a far more limited truce than Trump had demanded they sign up to.
BBC NewsUkraine war latest: Fresh Ukraine talks to begin 'immediately', White House says after Trump-Putin callThe Kremlin says the two presidents had a "frank exchange of opinions" after the call, which lasted at least 90 minutes.
In his first response to the #Trump #Putin call, President #Zelensky made clear he would support any end to #Russian #attacks on his country’s #energy #infrastructure.
That is no surprise because it was part of his own plan. But that’s the key point: the Russian offer is only part of the interim ceasefire plan the US and Ukraine had agreed.
Putin, he said, was still setting out “additional conditions” before he would agree a ceasefire and that showed Russia was “not ready to finish this war”.
Zelensky insisted Western powers would continue giving Ukraine military aid – despite Russian demands that they stop.
And he also said Russian demands for #Ukraine to be prevented from rearming during a ceasefire was just designed to weaken its armed forces.
As Zelensky gave his press briefing, #airraid sirens rang out across Kyiv. The irony was not lost on anybody including Zelensky who said it once again showed Russia could not be trusted.

THIS IS MADDENING. 
WE ALL KNOW T**** is #PutinsPuppet and trusts Vlad more than anyone else on Earth...
But when confronted with the truth that Putin is a liar & a warmonger, bombing innocent civilians as he takes full advantage of T**** yanking military support from #Ukraine, he CONTINUES to defend Putin & make excuses for him. 
T**** will never change, but SHAME ON #REPUBLICANS for allowing this mockery of injustice to continue. (1:45) #PutinIsAWarCriminal
@georgetakei after a lifetime of both liberals and conservatives turning a blind eye to the US supporting brutal puppet regimes (from Darfur in 69, Chile in 72, through countless puppets in Central America, East Asia and the Middle East since...) it seems like payback that we now are governed by #PutinsPuppet
"Trump says Ukraine 'more difficult' to deal with than Russia."
Very true, Russia is easy for Trump, #PutinsPuppet, to deal with because Putin is Trump's sponsor and Trump is war criminal Putin's ally. Ukraine is a democracy, and Trump is hostile to many democracies:
