There's definitely a major incongruity with how stuff is covered. It's a good question why there isn't more coverage of Russian atrocities, like there is for Israel's (for instance).

My best guess is that people are pushing back against the corporate press narrative, like you said, and not being careful enough about what they're actually consuming.

From what I can tell, the EU is earning it's new status as a villain, by consistently doing the wrong thing. Of course, I'm open to that being my own media bubble speaking.

I think Russia is de factor winning the war, and they are rightfully dictating the terms of the settlement. There is nothing Trump can do about it, he doesn't have much leverage, and he knows it (I think). Also, I think Russia agreed on a cease-fire, but on their terms.

What I'm hearing from certain sources is that Ukraine has forgone many opportunities to end the conflict in more favourable terms for them (Minsk agreements, and later on, Istanbul agreement). Had Zelensky agreed to implement the Minsk agreements as promised during his presidential campaign, there would have been no war, and they would still own the Crimean peninsula. Also, walking away from the Istanbul negotiations three weeks after the beginning of the conflict has costed them millions of lives and 20% of their territory. In hindsight, we recognise that all this could have easily been avoided, and here is, in my opinion, where some of the anti-eu sentiment is coming from...
