A video of what is purported to be Ukrainian soldiers burning Donald Trump in effigy is causing quite a stir.
In the clip, three soldiers are seen standing with a cardboard Trump lookalike as they deliver a message directly to the former president, essentially threatening Trump’s life for opposing the war with Russia — the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee has boasted that he would end the conflict in 24 hours with a brokered peace deal.
“We address Donald Trump. Because of you bastard President Zelenskyy couldn’t get any weapons. You will never be president again. You are a traitor. You will pay with your blood for what you did,” reads the overlay as one of the men speaks in Ukrainian.

Interestingly, Trump was credited with the $61 billion in aid to Ukraine being approved by Congress last month.
That’s according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, the neo-con Republican from South Carolina who has never met a military conflict he didn’t embrace. Graham appeared on Fox News Sunday to credit Trump for the foreign aid bill passing.
“There’s a loan component to it. This would not have passed without President Trump,” he said. “I want to thank the House Speaker [Mike Johnson] and [Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries working together in a bipartisan fashion to give weapons to Ukraine to fight a fight that matters to us. And President Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road.”
Social media users were highly skeptical of the stunt — like Democrats are prone to do, they were quick to blame Russia.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:
Lol, with far east Russian accents.

Have you ever heard Ukrainian being spoken? If you tried speaking Ukrainian, you would sound like them, like a clown trying to speak a language you do not know, reading from a notecard with a weird accent.

BTW, they speak in Ukrainian with errors and Russian accents. Also trees in entire Ukraine (look at the background) must be as green as in Virginia or Carolinas now.

80 million Americans voted for Trump in 2020, they are tax payers too, and funded the $60 billion we gave them

They must not have dirt on him like they do Biden… regardless – this is an insult even as a former President.
Would @ZelenskaUA want Americans doing the same to him?— Get Off My Lawn (@GetOff_MyLawn) May 2, 2024
