I would really like to hear more from the people of Ukraine about what they want, how they are feeling during this war, and what their hopes for their country are. Do they want the war to end? Are they ok with fighting forever? Are they wanting peace? We hear from Zelensky 100% of the time, but we don't hear as much from everyday civilians.

You might want to look up Ukrainian news sources for that info. Here's a start: https://www.kyivpost.com/ https://ukranews.com/en/news https://www.ukrinform.net/block-lastnews

It takes a second to look this shit up.

I don't trust Ukrainian propaganda anymore than I trust Russian or American. These are all carefully curated, pro-Zelensky news stories and articles. Is there likely some truth there? Probably!

But what I would prefer to read are thoughts from citizens, not bots, Zelensky-approved journalists, or official sources. We all know how messed up "official American news" can be. I don't think other countries are necessarily going to be more honest than us.
