Political developments in the war in Ukraine
Despite the frustrating mainstream media narrative, the political situation in Ukraine is experiencing significant changes. Mainstream outlets like The Washington Post and The Economist are publishing articles that acknowledge the failures and challenges in Ukraine. Zelensky's recent fiasco in a Senate session, where Republicans left an empty room, is indicative of the growing political difficulties he faces. This setback comes at a time when Ukraine desperately seeks more funding from the US, but it seems unlikely to pass due to the political situation. The Republicans, however, are not against funding entirely. They are considering leveraging the situation to secure concessions on other issues, like border security and revamping the border. It remains to be seen how the political landscape and funding for Ukraine will unfold.
