This 🇯🇵news reporter could not hold her tears while telling the news about 🇷🇺Putin 'awarding' his troops in 🇺🇦#Bucha with honorary title commending their "heroism". She confessed that she was just mortified when she read that passage. #StandUpForUkraine

This is what she said in the #tvasahi news broadcast:

"According to CNN and other sources, Russian President Putin on Monday have awarded an honorary title to the troops who played an active role in #Bucha where many civilian bodies were uncovered." 1/3

"President Putin commended his troops have acted with great heroism and courage and that they were exemplary to his Special Military Operation. As shown in the video, there are many civilians still left at the steel factory...(chokes) I'm sorry...please excuse me." 2/3

"Meanwhile...I'm sorry the news about him awarding was just so mortifying that I read it in such way... I'm sorry I will get my composure back. So... we can say that combat situation in Eastern Ukraine has entered a new stage. Let us now turn to an expert in defense..." 3/3

The news reporter's name is #YumikoMatsuo ( #松尾由美子 ) . She's a broadcaster at #TVAsahi and this incident gathered many sympathies from around the nation, because Japanese broadcaster rarely express their emotion and always maintain their 'composure'.

After the broadcast, Yumiko posted this on her @instagram saying this, along with her routine update on her fashion:

"I try not to let my emotions sway me from the truth as I take in these daily news... but I'm sorry, I'm worried about the children at the steel mill."
