> That's very difficult to say, actually; the Moskova was sunk with them after all, but the bigger issue is the abhorrent and indiscriminate shelling of civilian populations by the Russians. Fields with farmers and homes and hospitals with civilians are not of military importance. And yet, Russia keeps shooting them.

According to western media.

> The truth is Putin's Kremlin is to blame for this wide-spread shortage

Yeah that would be easy, however it's not as cut and dry (it rarely is). You could as easily blame Zelenskyy for killing thousands of east Ukrainians prior. And then their is the coup d'état in 2014 as well and the constant provocations of the NATO in general. So I am not so sure that Putin's Kremlin alone is to blame.

Wow, that's a new level of denial. Take a look, this happened yesterday [0].

This is a "culture hall", pretty far away from the front lines, where kids used to learn to play music. More than ten injured including children.

Almost everything being put out now is propaganda for someone. Not sure why anyone would trust western media but the alternative certainly isn't to trust RT, Sputnik, or any of their sibling media outlets either. Anyone who thinks they've got a good handle on the situation in Ukraine is living in a bubble of wishful thinking. Eventually the physical world will win out regardless of what the Metaverse and cyberspace presents as being true.

It’s a barely noteworthy Russian propaganda line tbh.

[AnonCoward4]

If it was from RT I would add "According to Russian media". Is that then a barely noteworthy western propaganda line or just the truth?

Russian crimes are pretty well documented at this point, see eg https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2022/04/04/russias-bucha-fac...

[AnonCoward4]

Circular logic. Because Russian crimes are documented (in western media) every war crime attributed to Russians must be true as well.

Shrug. Russian news being shit is an issue on its own. What aboutism need not apply.
