Things are never quite as they seem. Although I don’t think that I’d go 100% for this version it is nevertheless obvious that reporters don’t report news.
I know that from Thursday at the Esplanade and yes there was a reporter there.
So without further ado here’s a recent visitor to Ukraine on the war there (yes click the graphic).
It’s probably about real estate and who wants to redo it. Klaus?
While I don't believe one second that the media depiction is the full story (I have seen e.g. Oliver Stone's "Ukraine on fire" from 2016, with interviews with the before-2014 president etc), I also find the "nothing going on at all" idea hard to believe. Now I can't check where which video material is coming from and from when (although there is now this added white [Z] on vehicles which is not in older film material), but there's quite a bit out there of tanks destroying stuff.
A so far unpolitical youtube channel I follow, "pocketpianist", a Ukraine-born woman who lives in Austria (or was is Switzerland), recently claimed certain culturally significant places in her hometown were turned to rubble. She unfortunately has not mentioned a place name. I would not suspect her of lying. She could also have been misled, but probably has connections to e.g. old relatives who would know.
*Someone* did definitely strike a comms building in Kiev, not far of the Babi Yar - which a lot of "news" outlets claimed was the target, but it wasn't, it only caught some flying rubble.
The English are famous for queuing, and I always thought it polite. Wait your turn.
This report shows what we always discover: if we actually know anything about the situation then we know that the media is lying. (I think that there is a term for that.)
