Alexander Vindman
Alexander Vindman is a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and former director of European Affairs for the National Security Council (NSC). He gained prominence in 2019 when he testified during the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, revealing details about a phone call in which Trump sought to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into launching an investigation into Joe Biden's son. Vindman's whistleblowing was pivotal in the impeachment process, as it exposed a potential quid pro quo involving military aid to Ukraine. He has since become a vocal critic of Trump's foreign policy and has authored a book titled 'The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine,' discussing the implications of U.S. foreign policy regarding Ukraine and Russia.
