Might be the most important summary article I've read. Countering Russia propaganda about the circumstances is quite important and needs to have more visibility. Can't know if I am simply swayed by Ukraine counter-propaganda, but to my mind the US simply took advantage of an organic movement in 2014 with various placed claims. The US corruption itself allowed those claims and Hunter Biden was a key figure. Trump's efforts to discover truth were based on information the US held that the system didn't want revealed because it might be embarrassing. The intersection of US-Ukraine politics is troublesome.

Zelensky seems more than an adequate figure and efforts to make him a corrupted person seem to be negated by the Ukraine public. I have no doubt about various levels of corruption, yet Ukraine can decide that themselves without outside help.
