The Ukrainians have *always* - since this war began - had the edge in propaganda.
They've flooded social media with their cheap drone blowing up million dollar tanks.
They've put out videos of Ukrainian soldiers rescuing old ladies, abandoned dogs and tiny kittens.
I've seen two recently from the Kursk operation:
one where they brought food and water to a housebound woman. They're first words to her, "Don't worry. We're not Russians. We'll get you to a hospital soon." Then they feed her water from a bottle because she was too weak to drink it herself.
The second, very short: handing out loaves of bread to an old, old woman who was crossing herself and crying.
The Russians have always targeted civilians along with military targets. The Ukrainians have *fed* the civilians and targeted only military assets.
That's why we should support Ukraine.
That's why they will win. They must win.
