I know the BBC have reporters in Kyiv but I wonder if there are any correspondents actually with the troops on either side in the way Max Hastings was for example in the Falklands.

There are some people on Twitter who have been down to the front line but mostly come back. It's just not very safe when someone is going to bombard you with MLRS.

The Russians also have some propagandists but not really at the front line.

I think the Ukrainians are trying to manage the flow of information from the various front lines, partly to keep morale up, and partly not to give too much away to the Russians.

Its about time the press were censored... They have not done a good job with the Ukraine situation at all!


Scaremongering, presenting their opinions on subjects they clearly are not educated nor well heeled in and giving away what could be military intelligence...


Time to rein them in and just stick to the facts that are reportable!!



And just what is the men to women ratio of reporters??


Bring back Kate and Rageh.... They knew what to report and what not!!

This.
We only want facts, not opinions.
Most news stories are riddled with if, might and maybe these days.
And the stupid question " How do you feel"
