Comment: The sourcing situation is now much better than before (i.e., the draft cites mostly reliable, secondary sources). However, I second User:CFA; the cited sources provide hardly any significant coverage of the subject. Furthermore, I found that some sources refer to a person called Денис Давыдов, while this draft's subject's name is spellt Денис Давидов. To be frank, I reckon it is a typo. Денис Давыдов is a name so common in Russian that it is going to be difficult (for non-native Russian speakers) to tell the difference between the individual Давыдовs.

2022–present
[edit]At the beginning of the Russian invasion in 2022, Davydov supported Ukraine as a citizen journalist as opposed to becoming a solider, providing analysis of the war from Ukraine on his Telegram and YouTube channels.[2] In the form of near-daily updates since; Davydov has covered all major and many other events that have come from the Russian invasion.[2] Around January 2023, Davydov left Ukraine with his family and moved to Switzerland, citing security concerns with remaining where they were.[3]
