However, as foreigners, we have to recognize there is censorship and be cautious that we understand all the issues. After all, we can be influenced by news and photos that present a prejudicial and one-sided view of an issue.
Yes, that's what I'm trying to explain all the time. War is the art of deception. Well, think for yourself whether the Russians really wanted to destroy a fish farm with an expensive rocket. Of course not. It was a hoax. As a result, no one was hurt except for non-essential buildings. Houses are worse. People died there. That's why I'm asking, what do you want to know, what do you want to see? There is no jungle here, this is not Vietnam, there are no Mujahideen here, this is not Afghanistan)) I belong to the Regiment of Terodefense of the President, which participated in the defense of Kyiv. I know and see more than those Ukrainians who left for the period of hostilities and then returned.
Yes, there are many military men here whom I don’t photograph, especially in the morning, they stop by the local cafe for coffee. It's more like Israel. If you want to take photos, then permission from the authorities is not enough. It is important that the people among whom you will be trusted you. This is more important than permission from the authorities. Otherwise, you can live here for half a year and still not understand anything after taking a bunch of stupid pictures
And yes, I can even tell you what you want to hear. Yes, our President is a professional showman, and of a very high level. Of course he uses his experience in the war. When Boris Johnson first came to Kyiv, the military did a demonstrative demining, it was very loud. The military could stop demining altogether for this time, but they blew up a lot at once. Was it a hoax? I do not think so. It was a small shot for Johnson, which helped to restore the reality that was here during the period of hostilities. Conversely, when Joe Biden arrived, even practice shooting was stopped. Silence was necessary for the work of special services. It wasn't a scam either. But if you learn to watch our President, then you can understand where he is doing the show and even get real pleasure from it. This is the art thanks to which we are still alive. They sent me a video yesterday from the front. If the moderators allow, I'll post it. But this is hardcore, there are a lot of dead Russians there. I can't receive other videos from the front. In order to see the other side, you need to be on the other side, on the side of the occupier. But that's without me. So I ask the main question, what would you like to see? What would you like to know? What would you like to shoot if you were in Kyiv or Kherson or Konstantinovka?
