It’s the end of the 2000s.
Sixteen-year-old Andrii lies in the fields of Kharkiv region, spending hours lying in tall grass with a camera and a bottle of water, photographing the training flights of cadets from the nearby Air Force University.
He wore camouflage to blend in. 'Someday, I will be like them,’ he likely thought. A pilot crossing the blue skies.
But today, he is here only as an amateur photographer, a silent observer.
His dream came true. 20 years later he became a #Ukrainian pilot who helped #Ukraine to get F-16 fighter jets, which earlier was considered almost impossible.
Like getting Tomahawks now.
Despite earlier hopes, #Trump and #Zelenskyy did not agree on the vital supply of #Tomahawk long-range missiles last Friday. The missiles could significantly increase Ukraine’s ability to strike far-off Russian targets, and in particular target Russia’s vulnerable energy sector.
@timkmak He was never going to do any of this. He was always going to end by asking Ukraine to let Russia keep whatever land they'd captured. Why does Zelensky keep meeting with him?
Instead, in private White House meetings, Trump threw aside a map showing the battlefield in Ukraine. Swearing profusely, he urged Zelenskyy to give up territories and repeated Kremlin talking points that Putin was merely holding back, according to the Financial Times.
