American mixed martial artist Sean Strickland has called Americans who support Ukraine “stupid” in a post on Twitter on Aug. 18.

"Makes me laugh when Russia invaded Ukraine and I said it is insane that we're getting involved...," Strickland wrote.

"Everyone attacked me and called me an asshole. Billions of dollars later, some inflation, and now all you stupid f*cks are upset... God, Americans are the definition of stupid."

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the athlete suggested Ukraine had to surrender to Russia.

"Ukraine should just bend the knee and become Russian... I understand it sucks and yes you could win..... but do you really want to be the new Afghanistan for the next 30 years??? Not saying it's right but this hard pill to swallow will be better in the end," he wrote on Twitter on Feb. 25,2022.

It’s unclear why a professional fighter would call for a cowardly solution so vociferously.

In other MMA news, Ukrainian fighter Svitlana Gotsyk recently joined the "Lyut" assault brigade of the National Police of Ukraine.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
