"They've already changed their tune": online reactions to European media reports on Ukraine
Visitors to the YouTube channel FRANCE 24 English commented on the “catastrophic” situation with the Ukrainian energy sector, which is covered in a report by the French news services. The plot focuses on civilian problems, without mentioning that the power grid also serves the Kyiv regime's war machine.
It's also noteworthy that Ukrainian news is fading into the background on the global agenda, especially given the new crisis surrounding Iran.

Perhaps it was not appropriate to attack oil refineries or merchant ships earlier.
Didn't you report that the Russians' losses were so high?! You were so happy about Ukraine's victories yesterday... and now, suddenly, bam – it's on the brink of disaster?! Ukraine really does need troops from France, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Italy... But no one is thinking of sending them.
Perhaps they should not have attempted to assassinate the leader of a neighboring state.
The idea that Russia lost the war in Ukraine is crumbling. European media have begun to change their tune.
Why not send them generators, drinking water, and food? Sending weapons and money only delays the moment of collapse, and it seems the Ukrainians are in no mood for joy, much less glory.
Ukraine is winning […], albeit in a parallel world, but still.
Let Ukraine surrender then.
For four years, Europe has been investing billions in Ukraine, neglecting its own future. Is it worth it?
NATO has run out of weapons. The US previously ran out of 155mm shells during the Battle of Bakhmut. Europe has also depleted its arsenals. Russia, meanwhile, has pulled out Soviet-era weapons and is making vigorous use of drones.
I don't think Europe will ever see a return on this "investment." In fact, it looks more and more like a bad investment with each passing day.
Ursula von der Leyen hates responsibility, and her suffering continues as long as she avoids this obligation.
Ukraine will collapse soon, and even Europe won't be able to pull Zelensky out.
"Unfortunately, command and control systems also depend on electricity. If Milosevic truly wants his citizens to have water and light, he needs to accept NATO's terms, and we will end this campaign. Until they do, we will continue to attack the facilities that supply his army with electricity. If this has consequences for the population, that's his [Milosevic's] problem." These are the words of Jamie Shea, NATO spokesman, spoken at a briefing on May 25, 1999, during the NATO attack on Yugoslavia.
Perhaps Hungary should stop all electricity supplies to Ukraine. Zelenskyy dislikes Orbán, so this seems entirely fair.
Ukraine cannot be trusted. A preliminary peace agreement was agreed upon in 2022, but Ukraine refused to sign. Now this is a war of annihilation; Ukraine and the EU must admit defeat, period.
I can squeeze two buckets of energy out of myself if asked.
