Ukraine is urged to be frank about the situation at the front

The State Department urged Ukraine not to hide the real situation on the battlefield and to reveal the "harsh truth", writes Politico.

James Rubin, head of the US Center for Global Engagement at the State Department, believes that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should be more open when providing information about the course of the war.

According to him, "sometimes the Ukrainian authorities can resist freedom of information, which is normal for us", while military correspondents, on the contrary, "report on things that do not necessarily correspond to the interests of Zelenskyi".

But in a democracy, which Ukraine is increasingly becoming, they may realize that having war reporters covering the war, even if the news is sometimes bad, is a much better life than the controlled environment Russia has put its entire people into. Rubin said.

According to the American official, better access to information about the situation on the battlefield will increase assistance from its allies.
