The minute I saw this story floating around in the media I knew it was likely untrue. The Ukrainian and Western media has been playing this game for 2 weeks now. Even the maternity ward bombing was not true and/or not done by the Russians. The photo everyone is passing around of a young lady with a blanket on outside of it is actually a crisis actor. When she was discovered she scrubbed her profiles.

These narratives die quick when critically thinking people do proper work.

Keep doing good work Jordan. It's much appreciated. I have like ten guys right now who are busting out this propoganda as well. Turn off the mainstream folks. They're on overdrive now.

Can you shed light on the maternity bombing or link how you found out the actual news? I have been trying to find something and haven't had much luck. I thought things seemed fishy when I read about the event. TYIA

Sadly, 99% of the information coming out is pro Ukrainian propaganda. Ukraine is winning the PR war, but Russia is winning the actual war. This will soon be over as the Ukraine troops are surrendering, an excellent movie to watch that gives historical factual information is available for viewing on Rumble . The film is called “Ukraine on Fire” by Oliver Stone.

For Renaud and his entourage to go to this Ukranian checkpoint, they must have felt safe enough to do so, right? What information did Renaud have to believe that he could go to this area? Unbelievable story using 'collateral damage' to whip up anti-Russian propaganda. Absolutely without any decency.

Sad to see him killed. Sad too that there are so many lies coming from Ukrainian authorities. Sadder yet that many many of our lawmakers like Marco Rubio are not interested in the truth here… just their preferred narrative.

Amazing sleuthing. From many years ago I remember numerous and almost weekly stories about the last hospital in Aleppo being completely destroyed today

If you want to approximate the truth with regard to just about any story take the opposite of the MSM narrative and you'll probably be close to the reality.

Everyone capable of critical thinking doubted the narrative of this story from the jump. Yes, of course he was likely killed by Ukrainians! And this won’t be the last ‘false flag’ event to occur in the next few days as Ukraine realizes defeat is imminent.

It is the double standards which grate. Israel gets away with shooting and killing journalists, photographers, doctors, nurses, aid workers trying to do their jobs in the Gaza concentration camp while the prisoners are protesting, unarmed, and yet a journalist is killed in Ukraine, by one side or the other and that gets full attention. It is not just propaganda which is the problem it is hypocrisy and egregious double standards.

Who remembers Rachel Corrie and Tom Hurndall? Corrie was crushed by an IDF bulldozer, her body literally crushed into the earth as he went back and forth over it, and Hurndall, then 22, was shot in the head in April 2003 while he was helping Palestinian children cross a street in Rafah, in the Gaza strip.

For all its claims of civilization the Western world is a travesty on so many counts.

one crucial aspect the author left out. today, after the shooting, the mayor of the town made a video near the location: "Irpin Mayor Oleksandr Markushyn announced today that they won't let journalists in starting tomorrow because *they film the position of the UA soldiers and their faces, which endangers the UA Army.* Interesting timing for this announcement."

interesting indeed. video: https://twitter.com/julia_kanin/status/1503056411227566085

Almost all reports from the Ukrainian "authorities" are false. This is a fake State, all "official" information about military actions from the government of Ukraine is fake

That is an excellent question. They just have more technology to spread the lies than they did back in the day.

He left NYT in 2015. This all sounds like another propaganda story.
