Yes - which is why she was fired. But in her defense: she was doing her job. This is why "human rights activists have criticized her dismissal." Ukraine has a substantial PR campaign that's successful because of journalists like her. Even if you don't like that kind of information war with Russia, it's essential against the Russian propaganda machine. Good on Ukraine to try to reduce some of the hyperbole, but it's part and parcel of what journalists have to describe in order to get attention for the attrocities committed by Russian troops, which are indeed documented many times over (even if she may have been too explicit in her descriptions, causing others to wonder about the veracity of the claims).

It's fair to say that it's part of a journalists job, I'm sure there are other expectations in her position of Human Rights Chief though, politics is a different game. It's at a time when Ukraine has repeatedly been found to have sought publicity by enabling fake news. This was seen in the reports of the alleged killings of the Snake Island soldiers who had in fact been taken prisoner, the sunken battleship later found intact in port, and the Ghost of Kiev. Op-ed's are better left in the papers.
