Maybe we all have been but I'm pretty sure you can read and have an understanding of things. The Russians handling of this war would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

A funny input
I got my some new friends on a livestream from the war in Ukraine.

We have been discussing ideas about taking a trip to Ukraine and skiing outside Kharkiv- There's a camera pointing down the slope.

Secondly will we eat a good meal at some restaurant in Maidan area.

I don't think it will happened though...
End of a funny input

How reliable is this ?

A French journalist and senior international correspondent for mainstream publication Le Figaro, Georges Malbrunot, claims that Americans are “in charge” of the Ukrainian war effort on the ground.

While I am no surprised and have expected somehting like special commandos being on the ground (and while it is known that there have been advisers and trainers as well), I quesaiton the wisdom of making it public again to help Russian propaganda and just for the sake of the holy grail - "the story" - and the name of the reporter whom nobody ever heard of, and now have. Is a little bit of judgment really too much to ask when answering the question of whether or not you really should run a story? Or is this just the usual French antisentiment to les Americans again?

Russian propaganda says thank you monsieur.
