Perhaps you're using different news sources. In Australia, the nightly news
says almost nothing about the conflict. The main internet news sites here are
mostly putting out stories about how Russia is in trouble, Putin is about to
die, Ukraine is winning. They've been doing this for months now.
Maybe the U.S. news is more realistic? That would be a pleasant surprise.
