4. I don't like that picture. (I would rather stick to informing people what is really happening in

But the narrative is heavily under control and really harming Ukraine and it needs to be exposed and people need to understand what is really happening there.

It needs to be exposed. If we turn a blind eye to it there, its only a matter of time until we see the same type of stuff happening here.
