Chapter 2: What investigation is the Pentagon conducting regarding Senator Mark Kelly?
The Pentagon says it's investigating Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law. Kelly, a former Navy pilot, appeared in a video with several lawmakers calling for troops to defy illegal orders. NPR's Quill Lawrence reports a federal law allows retired service members to be recalled for potential court-martial.
This would be unprecedented, I think. I spoke with military lawyer Kevin Carroll yesterday. who's a retired colonel who served in the first Trump administration. He said the last thing even similar he could think of was in 1925, so 100 years ago, but that was an active duty officer. This is very different. And it seems, Carroll said, to be an attempt to silence political dissent.
NPR's Quill Lawrence reporting, Senator Kelly said he upheld his oath to the Constitution and dismissed the probe as political bullying. A peace plan drafted by the United States and Russia appears to have been scrapped in the Geneva talks to end the war in Ukraine. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports European leaders are working to revise the proposal, which was widely seen as favoring Russia.
Posting on social media, President Zelensky said the necessary steps to end the war are now workable and a lot of the right things are being taken into account. It's not the first time Ukrainians have anxiously watched Russia try to exert influence over the Trump administration. Businesswoman Ruslana Poncliv says Ukrainians are fighting a just fight.
I trust Zelensky and I trust in my country and in these people who live in this country, who stay in this country. It's very strong powers, really. People who are not afraid and who will be very strong.
She believes Ukraine will win this war in the end. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Kyiv.
