"The photographer documented the destruction of Ukraine and asked, 'How can this happen in 2022?'" CNN (CNN) issued a "sigh" on social media Twitter on the 19th local time through the mouth of a Western photographer. However, the subsequent direction of the plot did not seem to have been expected by the media - many netizens mentioned what the United States has done in recent years: "Ask Iraq, Libya, Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Venezuela, you may get the answer to the question..."

Heidi Levine, a 30-year-old Washington Post photojournalist who has worked in war zones such as Iraq and Syria, is currently sent to Kiev to report. She said in an interview with CNN host John King TV on Thursday (17th) that many photographers in Ukraine were shocked, "What we see, in fact, is happening right now." I mean, how can this happen in 2022? Heidi Levine said.

The hypocrisy of the West. ”↓
