Donahue was fired.

God damn it, I only quoted him two weeks ago...

The dismissal is not directly connected to the general’s position on Ukraine. (From the first days of the war, Donahue was the main coordinator of aid to Ukraine, which he consistently supported all these years; since December 2024, he did so as commander of the US Army in Europe and Africa).

The dismissal is connected to Pete Hegseth’s purges inside the Pentagon — removing people appointed under Biden and replacing them with Trump loyalists.

But it so happens that almost everyone caught up in these purges were committed supporters of Ukraine.

As a result, of the Driscoll-George-Donahue trio that traveled to Kyiv in November 2025, only Driscoll remains. George was fired in April.

Thank you for everything you did, General🫡

Loyalty once again outranked useful competence.
