@Storye book and Piotrus: this definitely feels like it fails WP:DYKHOOKBLP, right? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that In March 2022 Sonja van den Ende was the only Dutch journalist to report from the Russian-occupied Donbas on the war in Ukraine? (all sources in Dutch, so taken AGF).

@AirshipJungleman29 and Storye book: Fair point. But that is IMHO very boring. How about a balanced hook - ALT2 below: --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that Dutch activist and journalist Sonja van den Ende has been criticized by the Western media but praised by Russian and Chinese outlets?
ALT2 would work. Storye book (talk) 08:11, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Approving hooks Alt1 and Alt2. I personally find Alt1 more interesting, but both hooks will probably have appeal to readers. The promoter may choose which one they prefer.4meter4 (talk) 15:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
