An announcement from our editor-in-chief: We’re doing something really bold.

Yesterday, we launched our biggest and most important campaign yet. We are looking for 4,000 new members who will join our community and support our journalism: kyivindependent.com/membership/?ut…Image
You may have noticed that the international media’s coverage of Ukraine has gone down. Partly that’s because the attention switched to the Middle East, much to Russia’s pleasure. And partly that’s because the front line in Ukraine became more dangerous to report from as Russia’s drone technology gets more deadly.

Despair is building up in the air everywhere. The news is getting exhausting to follow. At the same time, disinformation is thriving.
Whether you’re watching the horrors or living through them, they weigh you down. That built-up exhaustion just makes you want to get out: to look away, to shut down, to crawl into a shell — essentially, to quit. After all, you personally can’t do anything about any of it. Right?

And… this is how you know the bad guys are winning.

⚡️Stoltenberg: Choosing between helping Kyiv and keeping air defenses, allies ‘must choose Ukraine.’

kyivindependent.com/date-set-for-u…
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said when NATO members are faced with the choice between keeping hold of their air defense systems or sending them to Kyiv, they “must choose Ukraine.”
“The reality is that, of course, we have systems available that are big enough to enable us to deliver significantly more to Ukraine when it comes to air defense in general and... that’s exactly what we’re working on,” he added.

⚡️Update: Johnson’s Ukraine aid bill allocates over $60 billion for Ukraine.

The House of Representatives published the content of the aid bill for Ukraine, which allocates over $60 billion in assistance and mandates the delivery of long-range ATACMS missiles after the day of enactment.

"If the President determines that executing the transfer of long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems to the Government of Ukraine pursuant to sub-section (a) would be detrimental to the national security interests of the United States, the President may withhold such transfer," the document adds.
The text further stipulates that no later than 60 days after the bill comes into force, Washington must conclude an agreement with Kyiv on the repayment of "economic assistance provided to Ukraine by the United States... and for related expenses, that are made available under the headings 'Economic Support Fund' and 'Assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia' in title 4 IV of this Act."
