Ben & Jerry's Founder Funds Anti-U.S. Military Support Campaign in Ukraine

Ben & Jerry's founder Ben Cohen has funded a media campaign against U.S. military support for Ukraine through the Eisenhower Media Network (EMN), a project run by the People's Power Initiative. EMN promotes a group of U.S. military veterans as experts and pundits who claim that U.S. military support for Ukraine is extending and intensifying the fighting, echoing Kremlin propaganda lines. Cohen has given more than $1 million to the People's Power Initiative via the Ben Cohen Charitable Trust. The campaign aims to turn Americans against President Joe Biden's military support for Ukraine and generate more media coverage with a letter signed by multiple national security experts and military veterans calling for negotiations with Putin.
