MOSCOW - Russian investigators say they have arrested and charged a Ukrainian air force pilot, whose plane was shot down during fighting, with killing two Russian journalists.

Ukraine has been rocked by fighting between pro-Russia rebels and government forces for over three months. The two Russian state-owned TV channel employees died in June after being hit by mortar fire in the Ukrainian city of Luhansk.

The two words, "Russian journalists" don't even belong together because of amount of BS they're putting out.

Here's a recent example. First, is the Ukrainian news report. She's talking with a Ukrainian soldier, asking how's morale, what it's like to be back, etc. At 0:57 of the video she's asking what he's thinking about the Russian media reports that soldiers are shooting at (executing) civilians. To which he says, that this is disinformation. Furthermore, he says, he told his commander that "if any Ukrainian soldier leaves the base with those kind of thoughts, I will personally shoot them in the head when they come back"

Russian report: there's fierce fighting in Donbas. Ukrainian soldiers don't want to, but are forced to fight. Else, they are executed. Cut to the same video of the Ukrainian soldier where he's saying "if any Ukrainian soldier leaves the base with those kind of thoughts, I will personally shoot them in the head" (At 1:54 of the video)
