116 Ukrainian drones achieved much more than 132 days of Trump’s presidency

Stepan Prokhorenko @stepantxt.bsky.social · 01/06/2025
The downplay in effect at @nytimes.com News about Ukrainian drone attack make the front page (too big not to) but the wording is vague and cautious: ‘targets’, ‘several aircraft’, ‘caught fire’. Randomly illustrated with a photo of troops training in Kherson (from last year!).

If this is what Ukraine pulls off on day 1,194 of war, after months of Trump’s pressure, constant appeasement of russia, aid chokeholds, internal issues, and divided support from Europe, imagine what we’d do if the West truly stood behind us.

The problem with phrases like ‘small glimpses of Ukrainian nationalism do peek through’ isn’t that Brendan is hostile to Ukraine — he isn’t — but reliance on tropes about Ukraine as substitute for understanding.
