The authors make an appeal to authority when quoting President Gitanas Nauseda and President Volodymyr Zelensky. They also use inflammatory rhetoric by stating that it is a 'huge disappointment' for the presidents and that 'lives are being saved'. However, they do not provide any evidence or reasoning to support these claims.- This is a huge disappointment for me personally, because Ukrainians are expecting that those goods will come, this military equipment will reach Ukraine, but it's not happening.
- we expect them to be delivered as soon as possible, so that as many lives as possible can be saved.

The article contains some instances of overgeneralization and appeals to emotion, but no explicit logical fallacies were found. The author's statements about the summit and Biden's mental acuity are opinions that do not necessarily contain fallacies.- ][The Economist] [[Joe Biden]] said, [[Make no mistake]], [[Ukraine can and will stop Putin]][[.]] This is an instance of overgeneralization as it assumes that Ukraine's ability to stop Putin in the future is a certainty based on the current situation.
- The summit started the day after Russia carried out its biggest wave of attacks in months, and struck a children's hospital in Kyiv. At least 41 people were killed across Ukraine and 170 injured. [[Mr Biden]] used the summit to try to put to rest questions about his mental acuity and ability to lead. [[Calls grew among some Democrats for the president to withdraw from the election]]. This section contains an appeal to emotion as it describes the attacks on civilians, including children, in order to elicit a strong emotional response from readers.
