Representative Mike Flood, from Nebraska's 1st District, shared his insights and perspectives through a series of tweets on May 1, 2025, touching on international relations and ongoing geopolitical events. Flood, who has served in the U.S. Congress since 2022, addressed developments related to the Russia-Ukraine situation and the involved diplomatic efforts.

In his first tweet, he emphasized the importance of a newly reached agreement as a crucial advancement in ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He highlighted that "This agreement is a major step towards ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. It strengthens the relationship between America and Ukraine and can help deliver critical minerals for free countries that currently rely on Communist China for them right now."

Continuing with his second tweet, Flood outlined the steps necessary for achieving lasting peace, urging actions like reversing territorial gains and fostering stronger alliances. He expressed that "As we continue to work towards lasting peace, it’s critical that Russia’s land grab is rolled back, the children taken from Ukraine are returned, and that our partnership with NATO emerges stronger than ever."

In his final tweet, Flood attributed the success of reaching such agreements to the leadership and negotiation skills of former President Donald Trump. He wrote, "This wouldn’t have happened without President @realDonaldTrump’s dealmaking experience and strong leadership."

Mike Flood, positioned in Congress since 2022, was born in Omaha and resides in Norfolk. His career path began with a BA from the University of Notre Dame in 1997 and a JD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2001.
