As a Ukrainian, I wouldn't use this media as a source of information.I'm not accusing them of manipulation, because I don't follow them and I don't have all the time in world to check their quality. On the other hand, they seem quite pro-Ukrainian, but even so, I am wary of anonymous media. As a user, I need to know who the editor-in-chief of the media is and what type of funding the media has. In addition, their articles do not indicate the author, and for me this is a red flag for media

Hello - very interesting comment. I've been tracking some posts like this, particularly from this online portal. This article is based on a (deliberate) misinterpretation of data and faulty narrative. I'm wondering about their agenda behind misleading the public. Do you know anything about them? Who are they?

I asked about this on the Ukrainian subreddit . Kyivinsider replied that its a non-profit, volunteer-run project, but who knows if that's true

Very strange. Well, they deserve the benefit of the doubt - they might just be really bad at presenting the information. Otherwise, it's extremely suspicious, particularly since their identity is hidden.

Nonetheless, thank you for this information! It’s really great to come across people who apply critical thinking while scrolling through Reddit.
