Three truths about the reality of war. In an editorial, The New York Times urged the US authorities to be realistic and admit that Ukraine cannot defeat Russia. I paid attention to this appeal to a sense of reality, because in many ways this whole terrible war is about what kind of reality we live in, and what we consider to be true. I am writing this article in Kyiv, where I have been all the time since the beginning of the war, and where I still have to run to the basement several times a day due to air raids. There is a special sense of the reality of war here, about which I want to tell three truths.
