There is propaganda, from both sides.
That is an important part of it.
I am surprised that so many,here, believe, unquestioningly, the Russians.
... especially because when believing Russians you have to believe several contradicting things at once.
Russia is saying all of these things:
* We are not bombing cities
* Cities are not bombed and these are crisis actors
* Cities are bombed, but by Ukrainians themselves because they want to make us look bad
* Ukrainians are evil Nazis and they must be wiped out so we are right to bomb their cities and massacre them
Do you believe the media without question?
