In fact, I have the impression that you are the one trying to downplay Putin, for example saying "Ukraine loses" instead of "Russian kidnapp" or "Russian warcrimes".
Israel was an apartheid state before Netenyahu became its PM. The BBC wasn't quite as euphemistic about their settler colonial project until the 90s though.
No, I am implying both, that BBC inflates Russian crimes, while downplaying Israeli crimes.
in this case, in the title they connected the person who was shot, twice to Russians, one using his nationality, other is by using Putin's name, to deliberately steer the focus to Russian crimes, even though it is not yet proven Russians did it, maybe indeed Russians did it, who knows, what if they did not?
On one side BBC is inflating what's not proven yet (again, they didn't say artist who critiqued politicians including Ukrainians), but downplaying what's proven: Israelis sniping kids
