Summary
A Russian missile strike hit a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, where U.S., U.K., and Ukrainian humanitarian volunteers were staying. They survived, but four others were killed, and over 30 were injured.
Zelensky condemned the attack and urged continued pressure on Russia. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for peace talks, pausing U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing after a dispute with Zelensky.
Critics fear Russia now has leverage in negotiations, as Europe struggles to fill the gap left by reduced American support.
It’s all about media consumption. That’s the key.
Propaganda works, that’s why evil billionaires buy it. That’s why every democracy is under attack. It’s easy to do now.
Media literacy - understanding how words and symbols create our world - is so far off from being as understood as, say, American football.
