For instance, Ukraine have been on the counter offense for about a week now but not a word ive heard (as far as TVNZ goes anyway)
Only thing ive seen or heard is all the fear of the nuclear plant being shelled and leaking radiation.
Seems most decent updates ive found are on social media from locals living behind enemy lines.
The NZ based TV news is often a few days late with stuff. I have wondered if it's to do with copyright on the footage they show - eg do they avoid paying for it if it's no longer fresh?
ABC news at 5pm on Duke had their interview with Zelenskyy yesterday. That is the previous evening's US broadcast, but is sometimes more current than our lot.
