I am not hearing much of Ukrainian propaganda anymore in Germany. Did the offensive come to a halt? What is Russia doing by the way? Not much info from them either. I just hear reports about them shooting long range rockets at critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
its winter, in my view, there wont be a new offensive/development until spring next year. in the meantime, ukraine is hanging on.

Magnitogorsk city, Russia
After a trip to Santa Claus, Magnitogorsk first graders suddenly became orphans. They learned about it from the news. The children were sent for a week to Abzakovo: to relax and recharge New Year mood. Each family paid 3.6k ($50). Happy children returned home and saw the story on TV: they are dancing, and the presenter says that the administration organized a charity trip to the New Year’s fairy tale for disadvantaged children who were left without their mothers and fathers. Parents did not give permission to shoot, but had no claims until they watched the entire issue. Now they demand a public apology from the TV channel and the deputy head of Magnitogorsk, who so boasted of her support for the unfortunate children.
forgive me now, this sounds as if you are describing a tasteless PR / propaganda stunt where someone took a bunch of kids, declared them orphans for w/e reason and then put it on TV, without the express permission of their very much alive parents. do I have that right or what is the story? Are you trying to convey misdirection and PR / propaganda, and if so should anyone be surprised?
