Reporter Alejandro Kirk describes daily life in Donetsk, a city besieged by Ukrainian artillery.

President Joe Biden is planning to declare Ukraine an official U.S. military operation, the Aug. 24 Wall Street Journal reports, making it a separate command with its own general.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, U.S.-based media platforms have made an extraordinary effort to cut Western audiences off from news from a Russian perspective.

In March 2022, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of a “hurricane of hunger and a meltdown of the global food system” in the wake of the crisis in Ukraine.

The social media outlets are an open door to organizations like NATO, military suppliers, and the Atlantic Council, with executives making decisions about what content is allowed to circulate widely on social media and what content is encouraged to support U.S. foreign policy goals.

What the mainstream media fail to see in the coverage of the current Ukraine crisis is that there is no text (narrative) without context.
