Good point.
I think people are surprised because Ukraine’s propaganda has been very effective at winning over western audiences. Finding out that (on the surface it appears) they forced NATO’s hand further into ‘their’ conflict must feel deceitful to some.
If it was them, I can’t say I’d blame them, but I wouldn’t condone it either. They’re literally fighting for their own and their families’ lives, and messing up a weaponised Russian asset in international waters wouldn’t even make the first draft for the list of bad things countries have done in a war. However, they’ve contributed to the economic squeeze affecting normal folks across Europe, hundreds of millions of people who have no immediate skin in that game and who had already paid billions to help Ukraine.
I wonder if Ukraine got the green light from the US or the unnamed Euro country.

But at the same time feels like WP could also explain how nord stream was bad for european security instead of focusing on the blame part
