In fall 2020 DePencier was enrolled in Ryerson University’s Bachelor of Business Management program when war erupted between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He dropped everything and flew into Armenia to document the crisis, which led to a job with locally-based Zartonk Media. After this he filed dispatches from the Lebanese-Syrian border region and investigated an attempted coup in Kazakhstan in which hundreds were killed. In February 2022 DePencier flew into Ukraine just 48 hours before Russia’s invasion began and spent the war’s most chaotic weeks reporting from in-country.
