    Rules in war? This entire war is already illegal. Russia shouldn’t even be in Ukraine in the first place. And yes, if you’re a frontline reporter, then it might happen that you end up in the crossfire, especially from artillery fire. Or do you think Ukraine saw some reporter through their drones and decided to target them? Stop being an apologist for Russia’s aggression.

    Edit: Also, Russia does not even have a free press, and with that they don’t actually have reporters, but propagandists.

          Which part of their statement exactly are you claiming to be BS? The numbers or something else?

            The entire pretext within the Donbass region that Russia was propagating. And you seem to misunderstand. Not me, but he himself called it BS during his little march towards Moscow, that it was all a lie. He should also know since he’s the one who owns the troll farms that spread this bullshit throughout the internet.

              Sorry I think you’re right that I might be misunderstanding you. You mean the shelling of civilian centers, including with cluster munitions, by the Ukrainian armed forces was BS? That is a verifiable fact though. That’s why I thought you must be referring to something else.

              It was reported on by the UN Human Rights Council and the NYT back in 2014/2015, back when such stories could still be printed, not exactly famed Russian-biased propaganda outlets or questionable internet sources.
