Truth is the first casualty in any war. In this era of ubiquitous cell phones, its amazing that there is not more video evidence confirming what is happening. Its cruel and macabre but if the Ukrainians are in fact downing transport jets, destroying tanks and killing young Russians, they have to be sure that the evidence is widely available to demoralize further the Russian people, who don’t want this war and its tragic costs. Propaganda is important in any conflict. It will put even more pressure on Putin. The loss of political support within Russia will have a far greater effect on Putin and events than sanctions.

There is lots of evidence, but its mostly on social media like Twitter, so no one believes it. Many seem to think that dead Russians should be lying around in piles to be photographed - the one I saw closest to that idea with 6-7 bodies in one spot, no one believed because there were not ‘enough’ bodies.
It should also be pointed out that when hit with modern weapons, many times there are no remains to be photographed. Also discounted are the Russian mobile crematoriums.
