I want Ukraine to win as much as DW, but this report is full of holes.
There's no evidence, as far as I know, that the 30 mile convoy north of Kyiv 'came under ferocious attack'. It might have, but we don't have evidence of it. The clip DW shows to prove this is not from that convoy but from the east side of the Dnipro River, just north of Brovary.
'The Ukrainians are a superior fighting force'. I'd love for that to be true, but right now, Russia is making (very slow) progress every day. Ukraine not so much.
Dear DW, don't try to cheer us up. Instead, tell us the facts on the ground, painful as they may be. I'm worried and I don't want to be served sugar to distract me from the danger.

@AlphaCovid2020 "how bought raw material became the solution to world enviromental?"
I have no idea, but that isn't the issue I have. In fact, I don't care about Nickel at all. My issue is with the commenters who claim that the EU is somehow unfair, or colonialist. It is neither of those things. It is a simple trade dispute which Indonesia could have had with any country, over any mineral or commodity. There's nothing more to it.
Now, some commenters have said that because it is the EU, that makes it inherently colonialist, or evil, or a 'power play', because the EU is a large economic power, and because some (but far from all) EU countries were colonial powers in the past. And certainly there is a power differential here. While Indonesia is smaller than the EU, it is by no means a small economy. But as much as we would like to see every country, big and small, treated equally, it is clear that that is never going to happen. This is a big reason the EU was established to begin with. So many EU members are tiny economies that would never get a fair shake in trade negotiations, but teaming up as a large group, we have much more power. ASEAN could do this, and should do this. You will have so much power in the world if you turn ASEAN into a real economic organization and give it real powers. You will be much better off when negotiating with China, or the EU, or the US, or India (in the future). This is a good thing, not a bad thing.
