Another week of Ukraine news, the good and the bad happening side by side. Russian forces withdrew from the Kyiv area but left behind a trail of destruction, death, and possible war crimes, including a home museum of the Russian composer Pytor Tchaikovsky. Patrick Caddell-Adams at The Critic Magazine in London says the war may have only just begun, and then he wonders if the war is turning genocidal. Photographer Moises Samon at The Atlantic followed Ukrainian refugees on the road to Moldova. Michael Shellenberger looks at what may have led to the war – and sees wishful liberal thinking as the culprit. Stuart Schneiderman offers an unconventional analysis of the war.
While the Patriarch of Moscow seems firmly in Putin’s camp, a Russian priest finds a way to protest the invasion. David Murray has some thoughts on what makes President Zelenskyy great. Unkrainian author Andrey Kurkov tells The Guardian that he’s not afraid of death anymore. And Muareen Doallas writes a poem about what happened in the town of Bucha.
