3 days ago | inquirer.com | Trudy Rubin

KYIV, Ukraine — As we sped along the highway from Odesa to Kyiv on Sunday, one of the Ukrainian passengers in the car suddenly let out a shout. The car swerved into a roadside gas station where people were glued to their cell phones.

When you read this, I will just have arrived at the Pearl of the Black Sea, as this historic, much beloved, multiethnic city was known in the peaceful days before Vladimir Putin tried to break it with missiles and drones. Since no Ukrainian airports are open, the route took me by air from New York via Bucharest, Romania, to Chișinău, the capital of Moldova, and then four hours by car across the Ukrainian border to Odesa.

Column: Why the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine quit, and why Trump’s latest phone call with Putin bombed

1 week ago | yakimaherald.com | Trudy Rubin

In his third phone call with Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump once again bowed to the Russian leader over ending Moscow’s war on Ukraine. The great dealmaker let the Kremlin boss set all the terms. Trump’s mishandling of Putin was well summed up in an interview I did (before Monday’s Trump-Putin phone call) with the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, one of the best-informed and most dedicated foreign service professionals I have met over decades of foreign reporting.

Trump’s Mideast trip: Forget peace deals, the president only wants a piece of the profits | Trudy Rubin

3 weeks ago | inquirer.com | Trudy Rubin

As President Donald Trump is being feted by Arab Gulf rulers this week as if he were the monarch of his dreams, we can see that world leaders have his number.
