The Daily - The Incomplete Picture of the War in Ukraine

In the nearly four months since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United States has been giving officials in Kyiv a steady stream of intelligence to aid them in the fight.

But what is becoming clear is that the Ukrainians are not returning the favor.

The Incomplete Picture of the War in Ukraine

From the New York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi. This is the Daily.

Over the past several months, the United States has been giving Ukraine a steady stream of intelligence

But what is becoming clear is that the Ukrainians are not returning the favor.

Today, National Security Reporter Julian Barnes, on what the Ukrainians are not telling the Americans

and what that might mean for the future of the war.

So Julian, you cover the American intelligence agencies.

And recently you've been reporting on the war in Ukraine.

It's really different than conflicts we've seen in the past for the main reason

that the Ukrainians are not returning the favor.

It's really different than conflicts we've seen in the past for the main reason that we have a huge amount of information.

We have daily press briefing from the United States and the UK talking about the movements of Russian troops.

We have think tanks producing reports on what they are seeing on the ground.

And we have an explosion of commercial satellite imagery that can show you the movements of Russian troops, their advances, their fallbacks.

And of course, there's also the social media aspect.

And there are lots of images of Ukrainians firing anti-tank missiles and exploding Russian armor.

Yeah, you feel like you're there with these things, right?

Yeah, you do. And you really feel like you can understand the war.

But as I was looking at this, I became uncomfortable, nervous that I was getting an incomplete picture.

This is what the news should sound like. The biggest stories of our time, told by the best journalists in the world. Hosted by Michael Barbaro and Sabrina Tavernise. Twenty minutes a day, five days a week, ready by 6 a.m.
