This "American journalist" is an associate of the disgraced former-sailor-turned-drunken-divorcee, Sarah Bils, more commonly known as "Donbas Devushka," and she's in Donbas because no reputable network could hire her. If you look at her microphone it's the same one issued to every member of Russian state media.
But sure, she's a "believable, unbiased source," right?
Try again, little boy.
