Shouldn’t journalists be able to tell the difference between them and them?

Hi Ante! You may think so, of course, but we are not flawless and can make mistakes. We correct them when they are brought to our attention by our colleagues or our keen readers!
Why is the headline “Russia: Residents forcibly evacuated from Zaporizhzhya” !? Zaporizhzhya and Europe’s largest nuclear power plant is in Ukraine NOT Russia. Despite occupation and annexation, as far as I know, almost no one except Russia itself recognizes the region as Russian.
STEFAN SENNERGREN
Hi Stefan! In this case, “Russia” should be read as the Russian side in the war, who are the ones who decided on the forced evacuation. It does not imply recognition of the areas as Russian.
Leif: The answer to your question is that the program is not broadcast live, and that an editor inserted the images when the program was cut together.
It is not more difficult than that.

Unfortunately, I have no explanation for that, Leif.
Maybe you can ask TV4, here is a link to them.
