No kidding. I am suspect of any news that comes out of that region.
Just look at the publisher of such articles. Russia is not even try to fight the propaganda war, they don’t care. But what is actually happening on the ground is a different story, why does the red part of the map (Russia controlled), keep incrementally increasing. Boy are they taking their time, to minimize civilian losses. Check out “ military summary” or “ The Duran” on you tube, there are more. I look at both sides, it not my war. Yet it is a US proxy war with Russia using Eukrainian Nazis as the fodder. Russia knows it, and for some reason historically, they really hate Nazis.
