"‘Little fissures’: The U.S.-Ukraine war unity is slowly cracking apart..." Based on conversations with 10 officials, lawmakers and experts, new points of tension are emerging: The sabotage of a natural gas pipeline on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean;" 1/ politico.com/news/2023/03/1…
"Multiple administration officials have begun worrying that Ukraine is expending so much manpower and ammunition in Bakhmut that it could sap their ability to mount a major counteroffensive in the spring." 2/ #UkraineWar #Bakhmut #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar️
"But the growing disconnects may foreshadow a larger divide over the debate as to how the war will end.

Though Biden has pledged steadfast support, and the coffers remain open for now, the U.S. has been clear with Kyiv that it cannot fund Ukraine indefinitely at this level." 3/
"Points of crisis still hover on the horizon. Zelenskyy’s insistence that all of Ukraine — including Crimea, which has been under Russian control since 2014 — be returned to Ukraine before any peace negotiations begin would only extend the war, U.S. officials believe."
4/
"Moreover, the Pentagon has consistently expressed doubts whether Ukraine’s forces - despite being armed with sophisticated Western weapons - would be able to dislodge Russia from Crimea, where it has been entrenched for nearly a decade." 5/ #Ukraine #UkraineWar #Crimea #Russia

@KitKlarenberg "peer-reviewed paper approved and praised by a prestigious academic journal was suddenly rescinded without explanation. Its author, one of the world’s top scholars on Ukraine..., had marshaled overwhelming evidence to conclude Maidan protesters were killed by pro-coup snipers."2/
"A scrupulous study he presented... and published... has been cited on over 100 occasions by scholars and experts. As a result of this paper and other pieces of research, he has among the world’s most-referenced political scientists specializing in Ukrainian matters." 3/

"Oscars Reject Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Bid to Appear on Telecast. For the past year, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been greeted with open arms by awards shows, film festivals and even the New York Stock Exchange" #Ukraine #Oscars #Oscars2023 1/ variety.com/2023/film/news…
"But when it comes to landing airtime on the most coveted telecast of all — the Oscars — the Ukrainian leader is being met with a cold shoulder. For the second year in a row, the Academy has snubbed Zelenskyy, who was hoping to follow up his Berlin Film Festival appearance." 2/
"Zelenskyy has popped up via satellite at both the Cannes and Venice film festivals as well as the Grammy Awards and virtually rang the Opening Bell of the New York Stock Exchange in September. At the Golden Globes in January, Sean Penn introduced Zelenskyy." #Ukraine #Oscars 3/

"and German investigative TV reports, as well as Italian, Israeli and U.S. TV documentaries. A number of major American, Danish, Dutch, German, Spanish, and Swiss media outlets reported or cited my Maidan massacre studies findings, overwhelmingly favorably." #Ukraine 2/
"But most of the mainstream Western media simply did not report my Maidan massacre studies and evidence that they revealed. This was done even though my research-based interviews, comments, and publications were reported by over 1,000 media in over 60 countries." #Ukraine 3/

NYT leak omits Seymour Hersh report & throws #Ukraine under bus: "New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year."
#Russia #Nordstream #NordStream2 #Ukraina nytimes.com/2023/03/07/us/…
NYT leak mentions Hersh report just to deny it: "Hersh published an article on the newsletter platform Substack concluding that the United States carried out the operation at the direction of Mr. Biden. U.S. officials say Mr. Biden and his top aides did not authorize a mission."
Another leak in German media: "Nord Stream investigations: Traces lead to Ukraine. Investigators have identified the boat from which the Nord Stream attacks were carried out. Apparently it was rented by a company owned by Ukrainians." #Ukraine #Russia zeit.de/politik/auslan…
