Ukraine war: BBC News journalists resume broadcasts from Russia

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-60667770

BBC News journalists in Russia have resumed their broadcasts, days after putting their work on hold after the introduction of a strict new media law.
The law threatens anyone deemed to have spread "fake" news about Russia's armed forces with up to 15 years in jail.
Numerous other Western news media also suspended their operations. On Tuesday, the New York Times said it was pulling its staff out of the country.
The BBC has decided to resume work after "careful deliberation", it said.

Are they going to go along with Putin and put out propaganda that will please Putin or are they going to go against him and put out (Putin's definition - fake news) that is really what is going on in the Ukraine and this war.

What kind of 'careful deliberation' did BBC go through. I question their judgement here.
