I get that it's propaganda for domestic morale, but I also get that if someone like Khodakovsky writes something like this then the newspapers are invariably going to print it.
Unless you're a Ukrainian needing hope or an embarrassed worker at the Kremlin, this feels like non-news. And yet it's such a hot point culturally, that you know it's going to drive discussion regardless. I clicked. I read. I commented. I didn't contribute anything meaningful to the discussion, but I felt the drive to participate, too.
