you could hear many ukrainians criticise speaker mike johnson online. and now, over the last few days, when they're hearing what he's been saying about the need for ukraine to prevail and for vladimir putin to be defeated, you know, he's now gone from sort of villain to hero in these parts. and i think that's the kind of currency ukrainians are after now — military help, how much are you going to give it, give for us to continue this fight? so it is a moment, it is an undeniable significant changing of the tide, politically. is it going to be enough to change momentum in the same way in a battlefield sense? i don't think so in the near to medium term. it simply, and in the simplest way, it keeps ukraine in this fight because all of the discussion here in kyiv certainly has been about what happens if ukraine loses. and there have been calculations by generals over how much territory it could potentially give up to preserve cities, for example. i think the approval of this bill allows ukraine to keep the negotiating table at bay. it allows ukraine. it e
