This reads like a Pentagon press release, mythological generic “Ukrainians this” and “The Ukrainians that.” 1/3 of Ukrainians are in the larger eastern Donbas region. They have been besieged by western, government Ukrainians since 2014. Credible reports say 14,000 have been murdered since then. Besides being a proxy war, this is in some ways a civil war. Pretending there is a unified Ukrainian point of view is shallow, American-centric, and even obscures the extreme poverty America is about to enter thanks to $50 BILLION DOLLARS, so far, moving from helping Americans to enriching the 1% who profit from war (and the media that enables them).
