I rarely watch TV, so I hardly hear daily coverage of the war, pitched to a general audience. I did today. The assumption Ru controls the course of the war runs deep.

Ru says XYZ, Ru decided to retreat, what's Pu calculus, what's next from Pu/Ru. Ukr is context to Ru's actions: Ukr doesn't believe Ru is retreating, Ukr are worried Ru mined Kherson. No mention Ukr army is pushing Ru out in a methodical, planned counteroffensive nor how Kherson greets liberating Ukr army.

This needs to change.
