On the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky began an official visit to the US, The New York Times published the findings of its investigation into the Kostyantynivka tragedy which claimed the lives of 15 civilians on 6 September.
It’s a good article, and I am glad for the pressure the international community applies to Ukraine to maintain high standards instead of letting them slip. We call it the straight and narrow because it’s pretty damn straight and narrow. Not easy to stay on it, and nothing wrong with a little help.
I think Ukraine understand this, but it’s difficult in times of war to take criticism because morale is the most precious resource you have. If they want to join NATO and the EU after the war though, these are the things they are going to have to accept.
I understand why they would publicly deny this, but they kinda have a strong (?) interest into investigating behind the scenes
Agreed.
