I hate to ask but - the war seems to be at a stalemate. What are Ukraine's options if global support continues to decline? How long does Ukraine anticipate that international resources will be available to support the war effort? Would Ukraine ever consider giving up territory in exchange for a peace agreement, NATO or EU membership? If not, what might be the other options for pursuing Ukraine's agenda (if a military solution does not seem possible, or practical)? And for all of the above questions: what are the points of view of the government of Ukraine, the people, different factions within Ukrainian society?

USA media is hesitant to discuss or show the details of war crimes. The people are getting a sanitized view of what is happening, so that they think that Ukrainians may have an alternative path to peace that they are not taking by choice. It is important for media from Ukraine to keep telling stories of individuals who have survived occupation. Also, little is written or shown in English of the genocidal comments from RT commentators. There needs to be a better tie in from Ukrainian print media to USA network tv, because Americans tend not to read news.
