This is the original article from the NYT but probably without a subscription it can not be read completely
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/29/world/europe/us-ukraine-military-war-wiesbaden.htmlQuite a grim and compelling account of life as a soldier in the Ukrainian army. It’s a long read but very interesting. You do get quite a strong sense of the war weariness and cynicism among the ordinary soldiers and also their dislike of the higher-ups with their cavalier disregard of human life (echoes of World War One)
The middle sections, dealing with the phenomenon of drone warfare, are particularly disturbing. It brings home the point of how lethal these things are. Old-fashioned trenches are no protection against them, day or night. You need to burrow into the earth like a mouse to avoid being spotted. Step outside to take a leak behind a tree, and the chances are you will be spotted and despatched
It’s a picture of a world that is disintegrating in every sense of the word

The only explanation is that Europe’s politicians believe their own propaganda: that Putin plans to invade Europe. It is one thing to increase spending to the military, quite another to send troops to prop up the Kiev regime, even at the risk of a world war!
