Both Russia and Ukraine broadcast propaganda and only propaganda.
But Russia is better at it, because they've been doing it longer.
Ukrainian propaganda is so absurd and so extreme its like listening to the claims of ISIS. How many hundreds of Russian aircraft have they shot down and how many thousands of Russian casualties have they inflicted?
The fact that western media has been credulously repeating some of the claims made by Ukrainian propaganda outlets with no verification whatsoever, and social media has been allowing them to post freely even as they call for child soldiers and foreign fighters, is disturbing to no end.
We're witnessing the war propaganda machine in full swing, in a way that makes the post-9/11 world look tame. Here they're going all out
They're letting Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson voice their support of the invasion which gives the Russians propaganda to use on their own people.
They are telling their citizens they are fighting literal nazis who are committing genocide and Trump is helping support these lies.
So the media is just voicing both sides to things to the world's detriment.
