It’s ‘oddly quiet’ is it? I haven’t heard much about the Bucha massacre of civilians lately, and I haven’t heard much about the Russian missile attack on the shopping mall lately, and I haven’t heard much about the Russian soldier who castrated a POW lately….these events don’t stay in the news long because there is always a fresh and more disgusting Russian atrocity coming along to replace the last one in the news cycle.
Your job - as it has been since day 1 - is not to comment on the illegal and beyond-inhuman actions of the Putin regime, but instead try to pick holes wherever you can in any Ukrainian allegations. You try to sow as much doubt on behalf of your masters as you can.
