You see it as shilling, he sees it that he is being truthful about what he sees and hears. Ukraine is not winning this war. Yet all western media claims it is though once in a while they let some truth slip.
All anyone has to say to the people who only want to believe what they WANT to hear is that Russia is winning this war. Ukraine’s counter offensive is as dead as most young Uke males.
That truth for the moment does not mean a person is shilling for Russia.
So prove it. Your opinion is meaningless. Repeating some pro-Russian talking point is shilling.
If you are doing more than shilling provide some evidence and reasoning to back up your opinion.
Talk about believing what you want to believe. That is what you are doing. The only sources for the Russians are winning is thre own propaganda and some fringe sources.
