A major problem with current US media coverage of Ukraine is that a swarm of ignorant journalists have descended on Kyiv. They no nothing about the country or about its political players. They do not know who to talk to or whom to listen to.
As a consequence they turn to those who talk the most & are accessible, often because serious Kyiv-based journalists & observers would not talk to them. The most outstanding example is former prosecutors general Yuriy Lutsenko & Viktor Shokin, who are never credible.
Another consequence of this flood of US ignorant journalists is that serious Ukrainians, including the whole government, stay away form them, leaving them in a bubble of myth and lies. As several repeat the same lies, they are accepted as truth.
