Residents of Sudzha talking to Patrick Lancaster about how the Ukrainian occupation looked like and surprisingly their account drastically differs from stories about "rape by Polish mercenaries" published by Russian mainstream media with zero supporting evidence. Elderly residents of Sudzha describe Ukrainian army as "just normal guys" who brought them food and medicines when they asked for it. Make no mistake, Lancaster is an American who had been living in Russia since 2014 and had been involved in pushing Russian propaganda narratives about Donbas, but this time apparently his screenplay didn't work as planned.
