    Unity, Now in 20 Installments

    Unity is a worthy civic ambition. But when a Kyiv-themed appeal attributed to Prince Harry arrives as episode 7 of 20, togetherness starts sounding like a production schedule. A project manager would reasonably ask for milestones, a completion date, and some indication that the installments are bringing people closer rather than keeping the content calendar comfortably full.

    Mutual respect and shared resolve are serious aims; real cooperation takes work. The absurdity is making the call to come together feel like a program whose finale keeps receding. Apparently, the shared resolve is to stay tuned through episode 20—and hope unity has not been renewed for another season.
