"A Ukrainian journalist has thanked an ally of President Vladimir Putin for a "tip" that may have accidentally exposed the location of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine. In a post on Telegram that now appears to be deleted, an adviser to the governor of Russia's Oryol region, Sergei Lezhnev, published photos and videos on November 14 of a location where "humanitarian aid" was being unloaded in the city of Kreminna, in the partially occupied Ukrainian region of Luhansk. The next day, the area was reportedly attacked by Ukraine's Armed Forces. There were no injuries. "Thank you for the tip, Sergey Lezhnev," wrote Ukrainian journalist Alexey Artyukh on Telegram, thanking Lezhnev for his posts, which can be seen in screenshots.
Lezhnev also came under fire for his posts, with some accusing the adviser to the regional governor of "disclosing the location" of the Russian Armed Forces and allegedly provoking Ukraine's forces to attack the area, daily newspaper Kommersant reported. The publication noted that Lezhnev publishes photo and video reports on the delivery of goods on his channel almost daily." Newsweek
