I thank all the experts and leaders of U.S. think tanks for the meeting: John Walters, Luke Coffey, Robert Doar, Frederick Kempe, Jenna Ben-Yehuda, Shelby Magid, Geoffrey Pyatt, Paula Dobriansky, Ambassador John Herbst, Andrew L. Peek, Evelyn Farkas, Cindy McCain, Kimberly Kagan, Frederick Kagan, Carrie Filipetti, James Jay Carafano, Michael Froman, Daniel Baer, Philip Luck, Alina Polyakova, Kurt Volker, Eileen Donahoe, and Joshua Rudolph.
It was a very useful conversation. It is important that everyone is closely following what is happening in Ukraine, how the negotiations are progressing, and what prospects we have. I’m grateful for the questions, your engagement, and your desire to help Ukraine, support our people, find the right path to ending the war, and guarantee security.
We had less time to talk than there were topics we all are interested in, but we could see from everyone’s words, actions, and views a genuine desire to work together on important things that strengthen the protection of people’s lives and freedom. The more we work together, the more reliable our solutions will be and the more opportunities we will have to achieve a just peace. Thank you all for your support!

A lot of people on this list are Russiagate hoaxers and Ukraine impeachment operatives. Evelyn Farkas was one of the worst Russia Russia propagators and played a central role in the campaign for a special counsel. Alina Polyakova promoted the same nonsense, including at Brookings, the home of Lawfare. Volker and Pyatt were key figures in advancing the Ukraine impeachment hoax. And now Zelensky is championing them.
It is all so insufferable.
Meanwhile, the guy who actually told the truth about these matters, including Ukraine’s role in interfering in the 2016 election and the impeachment hoax being used to bury Biden corruption, Andrii Telizhenko, remains under brutal sanctions imposed not by Democrats, but by the Trump administration.
Make it make sense.
