(DCNF)—Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons said Friday that President Donald Trump has the power to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, but only if he reverses course and ramps up U.S. financial and military support for Kyiv.
In March, the U.S. Department of Defense said Trump had halted all military aid to Ukraine until the president can determine a good-faith commitment to peace from Ukrainian leaders. Appearing on ” Morning Joe,” Coons said Trump could end the war in Ukraine if he reversed course and sent more U.S. funding and military support to Kyiv to pressure Russia.
“One of the striking things about President Trump’s budget request for the military this year was it stripped out all funding for support for Ukraine. I’m the senior Democrat on defense appropriations,” Coons said. “And we’re working hard to make sure that those resources for intelligence sharing, for the purchase of our weapons systems by Europe and support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression remain a part of our posture with our allies in Europe.”
Coons accused Trump of appeasing Russian President Vladimir Putin while pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to surrender territory.
“He’s tried doing everything he can to give Putin what he wants, literally rolling out the red carpet for him in a meeting in Alaska now months ago. And he’s pushed and pushed and pushed Zelenskyy and the brave men and women of Ukraine to make concessions of territory,” Coons added. “Frankly, at this point, Putin’s response is blindingly clear. Night after night, Putin launches waves of drones and missiles at civilian targets.”
In November, Zelenskyy faced an issue that risked his authority and damaged his clean-government reputation. This, after Ukraine’s anti-graft agency probed his longtime associate Timur Mindich over alleged diversion of about $100 million from a state nuclear firm. Zelenskyy later moved to rein in the investigators despite not being personally named.
Zelenskyy defended his government’s record and pushed back against allegations that his administration interfered with anti-corruption efforts.
“Look, I’m focusing on the war. What about anti-corruption agencies? They do what they have to do. They have all their independence. Nobody is stopping there. They are checking what they have to do, and we are not stopping,” Zelenskyy said. “It doesn’t matter what person, close or not, we know them or not, or we don’t. They have to do their work. This is war. This is democracy in the same way. Yes, and we have to respect it.”
Despite the corruption issue, the U.S. Congress is moving forward with a compromise defense package that injects about $400 million in additional military aid for Ukraine as the war with Russia enters its fourth year. The president is continuously working to bring the war to an end. Zelenskyy met with Trump in Florida Sunday to review a proposed 20-point peace plan, after which Trump said they held follow-up calls with several European leaders during a joint press conference.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
