Zelensky, snared by Trump impeachment, ducks U.S. political crossfire again
"After nearly two years of war and now the challenge of navigating U.S. infighting, Zelensky “just didn’t have that normal zest,” the aide said"
How is he even standing upright?

“I don’t think people fully realize what Ukraine’s fall would actually mean,” said a European diplomat. “We would see horrible things: ethnic cleansing and total destruction of Ukraine"
That might sound familiar. Afghanistan.

A disturbing piece in itself. And a sign of disagreements and diverging narratives.

In Ukraine, time is really not on Russia’s side

Brantly Womack "Venturing beyond its defenses would expose Russian logistics to Ukrainian resistance and would re-ignite Western backing, possibly with air power"
Yes. These resistance fighters and citizens would also not be bound by such niceties as avoiding g Russian territory.

Hungary blocks €50bn in EU aid for Ukraine hours after membership talks were approved
Orban wants Putin to win. WHY?
He is a Russian asset. He is still a member of the EU.

"For the Kremlin dictator, a “compromise” would involve Ukraine’s subjugation and dissolution as an independent state. That would include regime change, with Zelensky in exile (or dead), as well as an end to Kyiv’s aspirations to join the E.U. or NATO"

"Why is it that such far-fetched narratives become mainstream, while more nuanced takes as in "yeah, Russia is facing serious problems but, yeah, it's pretty resilient" never capture the public imagination"
This is sometimes called the Law of the Excluded Middle
Support for Ukraine is a question of morality and not self-interest.

It’s all about Biden losing. The moral bankruptcy of it is breathtaking. But this is Trump’s Party. What would you expect?
“In that regard,” she continued, “whether they like it or not, members of Congress are doing exactly the same thing as Vladimir Putin. They hate that. They want to refute that. But Vladimir Putin wants Biden to lose, and they want Biden to be seen to lose as well
