Over the past few days, I spoke to people in Kyiv and Dnipro, watched the protests unfold, and tried to understand what they really meant, not just politically, but for the soldiers still fighting this war. open.substack.com/pub/shaunpin...

Previously, they always claimed that they were "striking only military targets." Now they openly state that they want to leave Ukraine without electricity, which is an absolute war crime. Is this what "Putin wants peace" looks like?

We have mums in Ukraine running Air Defence, some decorated by Zelensky himself. A few probably wouldn’t pass Hegseth’s ‘standards.’ Yet his army would be shredded by 19-year-old girls here who can drop Shaheds with the skill of a PlayStation controller. He’s stuck in the past.

Some newspapers are acting as if they were solely a commercial enterprise, without the mission to uncover and report on the truth. It is us, the readers who have to make our judgment and use our critical thinking to understand the world. Sadly, the @nytimes.com has become a clickbait generator.

I’ve literally had to sit on my hands to hold back from calling out these two atrociously orientalist articles. But if stuff like this doesn’t get called out, reporters who appreciate nuanced (and informed!) reporting will struggle to push back when asked to frame stories in the same way.
