You may be interested in this well-informed comment I read under Madyar's original video:
You probably don't know that it was the New York Times that published in 1933 a series of articles that were paid for by Moscow, that there was no famine in Ukraine, and that all this was the invention of the ill-wishers of the USSR (by that time, millions of people had already died of starvation!). During all this time, this newspaper has never apologized for its deliberate lies to the Ukrainian people/Ukrainian state. The newspaper's editors don't care how many Ukrainians the Russians kill, the main thing is that Moscow pays money for the "right" articles.
I asked the person whether there is or ever has been a campaign to get the paper to formally acknowledge this and apologise to the Ukrainian people (they haven't replied yet). I sincerely hope that US supporters of Ukraine will complain to the NYT about the latest article, and when they do, it would be good if they also referenced their 1933 pieces about the Holodomor... I don't believe that shaming this publication will improve it, but if it stops them from publishing similar disgusting and damaging things in future, it will be something. And if they have to publicly row back on their latest statements about Ukraine, so much the better.

This is Madyar's full video. He rarely comments on anything other than the battlefield, and it's always worth listening when he does. He is highly respected in Ukraine and among the armed forces in particular, and I think his statement will have (probably already has, it was four days ago) a strong impact:
The New York Times, не перспективно так робити. (Eng СС)
Here's a comment to that video (from @bajanka6854), which really struck me because this is something I didn't know about the Holodomor - or the New York Times. Ukrainian original below.

Ви мабуть не знаєте, що саме Нью-Йорк Таймс опубліковала у 1933 році серію статей, які були проплачені Москвою, що голоду в Україні немає і все це вигадкі недоброзичливців СРСР (на той час від голоду вже вмерли мілійони людей!). За весь цей час ця газетка ні разу не вибачилась за свою навмисну брехню перед українським народом/ українською державою. Редакції газетки все одно скільки українців вбьють росіяни, головне, щоб Москва платила гроші за "правильні" статті.
