The 'turning tide' myth: media hype vs. Ukraine's battlefield reality

Western media’s claim that Ukraine has turned the tide is challenged as detached from battlefield realities: drone gains, while dramatic, do not derail Russia’s long-term campaign, and there is no clear military path for Kyiv to secure victory. The piece argues that ongoing coverage distracts from the need for diplomacy and a negotiated settlement, warning that more aid and hype may prolong the war rather than end it.
