The TikTok influencer has discovered occupied Ukraine.
A group of influencers from Moscow recently took a trip to Mariupol to pose next to rubble and film themselves feeding the locals.
Throughout their excursion the group pays homage to Russia for its “liberation” efforts.
The influencers also got the chance to cosplay as Russian soldiers and ride military tanks through the abandoned city streets.
According to the influencers Mariupol can now “breath a sigh of relief” thanks to Russia.
My research partner @FARED_ALHOR is correct that this has been happening in Syria for a while. Influencers who enter into Syria on regime sponsored visas are used as pawns by the regime to white Assad/Putin war crimes.
Brazen influencers treating devastation like it’s a photoshoot for Vogue:

“Like and comment if you are from Donetsk” reads the caption of this video.
