Is AP an Ukrainian news outlet now? Why does Ukraine get specifically mentioned even though tourists from many countries were on that bus. (hexbear.net)

Like I can understand if an American outlet mentioned American citizens dying abroad but this is weird.

Those on board included Ukrainian, German and French citizens, according to Venice prefect Michele Di Bari. Two of the dead were children. The Italian driver, aged 40, was also killed, Di Bari said.

Not to jump in the trenches for AP but it's the same practice just applied to "group of people that are generally cared about atm" internationally
