> Some of Ukraine's messages about the future are very optimistic, but it's always important to take forward looking statements with a grain of salt. I don't understand what you tried to say. All statements about the future are statements of intent, not statements of fact. Grains of salt are not required when someone says something like "I'm going to join a gym and lose a couple of pounds." Ukraine puts out statements that are very optimistic about their future because that's their intention, and that's just it.
