The only resentment I've heard of is about the Romanians ignoring the drone over their air space which then turned around and attacked Ukraine.

Quote from: The Minsky Moment on Today at 11:49:27 AMI don't see a problem in asking Ukraine to share tech with NATO.  Is there really some objection from Ukraine about this?

I'd imagine they wouldn't want to share with Hungary, but otherwise I expect it'd be considered reasonable - maybe as part of some further mutually beneficial arrangements (e.g. build Ukrainian tech at scale in a way that brings more assets to both NATO and Ukraine).

That said, I think it's pretty natural for some Ukrainian rank and file folks and social media types who - being under massive pressure as they are - to feel and express some bitterness. I doubt it's anything more than that. I expect the official Ukrainian position is some version of "we are good and reliable partners and we're happy to help our allies, though ideally in a way that results in more help in our existential struggle."*

*note I'm not a Ukrainian official, so this is purely speculative on my paint.
