Ask the survivors of Mariupol. So far I’ve only seen one single reporter on the ground there for several years.

This guy has been reporting in the area for years
That guy has been a Russian propagandist for years. If you have been following his “reporting” then you can’t miss how all his lies (like his crazy MH-17 stories) get exposed in time. He lives and moves together with the Russian military and their “deniable” mercenaries just putting out ridiculous Russian propaganda.
You really have to work hard to get fooled by him.
That guy has been going to Russia-initiated combat sites and interviewing KGB stooges posing as citizens for something like 10 years now.
He is pro-Russian and interviews pro-Russians in the area as all the those who are Ukrainian have fled. The remainder want to join Russian.
