Tough Times in Ukraine
Daily nightmare. Frontline is breaking. Russians claimed over 2,000 Ukrainian casualties yesterday.
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre,
the falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
the ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.”
- W.B. Yeats
Zelensky is desperately trying to control the Trump narrative of peace with Russia, but he’s also under severe pressure with approximately 50,000 casualties the past month.
