A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.

Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine’s parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday that he had “lost any sort of faith and belief” in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Merezhko said Trump had “virtually no reaction” to large-scale strikes on the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks, adding: “He has chosen the path of appeasement.”

    Yeah, I had the tiniest bit of faith in the Anti Defamation League, but after they called Musk’s stunt fair game I realized pockets of money could even buy ethics groups. From here on out, unless a group manages to zero its profits or earnings by the end of the year, they’re untrustworthy.
