It seems to me that the rhetoric from both Russia and the west has been so egregious, and that it's been very hard to sift through all the wild claims on what's happening on the ground in Ukraine ... all this fogginess has forced researchers and sense makers to focus on recent history (like the documented rampant corruption leading up to the invasion) and overt public moves, like the declarations from the Ukrainian government above. And frankly it doesn't look very good for the west's narrative. I predict the Ukrainian flags will start quietly disappearing from profile pics, though the war machine has enough momentum, so i fear we are on a set course at this point...
