No, that was simple reporting, everyone thought they had been killed and 4 days later the Ukraine navy reported that they had been captured alive.
As the article you linked was corrected “”all feared to have been killed in the Russian attack on February 24. On February 28, however, the Ukrainian Navy released a statement saying the troops were “alive and well,” but were forced to surrender “due to the lack of ammunition.””
What would you have thought if the last message from a remote outpost of 13 men was a defiant FU to the enemy as they attacked, and then nothingness?
You would think after multiple wars the USA has been dragged into, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc....all were pointless and in each one the American Public was fed lies and propaganda that people would eventually catch on that the same thing is happening with Ukraine.
Anyone who opposes being dragged into another war is labeled a Russia Troll or Putin Lover is one indication of the lies and propaganda being spread.
After all the lies we were told about Russia Gate and Covid, now we are supposed to believe the same media is reporting truth and facts about Ukraine, if you do fine, but I choose not to.
I’ve repeatedly said, I don’t believe either side in this conflict, eventually it will get resolved and the truth will be revealed, what I do care about is being dragged into another war by lies and propaganda.
