Man goes to Kyiv looking for the war and can't find it

Yep, but I've watched mainstream media waffle a lot about attacks in Kiev early on and shell blasts and the suddenly days later they were saying the Russians had not reached Kiev. Remember that tank that was supposedly a Russian tank running over a Ukrainian in a car in Kiev? That was early on and then later they said Russian tanks had not even reached Kiev, so probs that was a Ukrainian tank that ran over that car (and he probably just lost control or didn't see the car). This guy's video makes more sense from everything I've seen. Most media does not want to go into an actual war zone, those kinds of reporters mostly belonged to a different era of news. They'd rather stage something in a quiet street corner and take video of that and tell themselves it's OK because in their mind, the real thing is happening in the next town over anyway. Zelenskyy is happy to let this happen as it helps his cause. We've already seen them do plenty of this same thing with covid, one as to assume it's still happening with other subjects. It's easier to fake news than to find it for real and also a lot safer for them.
That still leaves the question open as to what is happening in the rest of the country though. So far I have not seen much of the actual fighting and with everyone having cell phones now, it should be possible to easily get footage, but could be both sides don't want to give away tactics either. Or some or all of it could be bs, IDK.
