23. Something odd here...

at the end of the third paragraph - "more aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia"

Does this strike anyone else as backwards?

It is not "Ukraine's war against Russia". It is Ukraine's defense of its nation from Russian invasion. Or Ukraine's struggle against Russia's unprovoked invasion of a democratic nation. Or something.

It is not Ukraine's war, at least not in terms of who started it and who is prolonging it.

Very tangential to the OP's point. But it still bothers me.
