> Snake island martyrs, you mean the go fuck your self thing ?

Not quite right. Ukrainian government initially stated that 13 border guards were killed and president Zelenskyy announced that all of them will be posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. However, all of them were alive and 19 Ukrainian salor were later released.

> I’m not sure what’s fake about their evacuation, the last of them have been captured.

Ukrainian government said that Azovstal heroes were evacuated (I'm not a native English speaker, as you may have guessed, but evacuation means release), but in reality they surrendered.

> Mariupol hospital

It is assumed that russians hit hospital w/ aviabomb. Two days before attack, russian government mentioned, that Azov batallion used hospital X as a shelter and there were no (!) patients. But then russians attacked hospital Y (looks like by mistake) and one pregnant woman died. Another pregnant woman, who appeared on photoes, after that gave controversal interview where she said that she didn't hear any bomber, hence russian media assumed that Ukrainians attacked hospital using artillery. Interview is controversal, because it confirmed: everything that russian govt/media said about hospital before was a lie.

> Putin having cancer has always been rumors, no official statements, and it could be true, cancer doesn’t mean instant death.

Second that. He definitely has neurological issues, but not sure about cancer.

And Russia's turn.

> Ukraine being full of nazis, official statements, very harmful.

As far as I can see, there are more nazis in Russia. Russian propaganda always mentioned, that there was a political party (The Right Sector) and they used Nazi symbols, however on last election they didn't surpass minimal barrier. Worth adding, even before 2014, there was a famous Ukrainian chant: "Moskalyaku na gilyaku" - very offensive term towards russians (https://bazovo.ru/en/cerebral-palsy/moskalyaku-na-gilyaku-ch...).

> Bio labs

The funny thing w/ this bio labs is that they were created during Soviet period. The US saw them as a threat after the collapse of the USSR and therefore simply sponsored them to do NOTHING. Technically, they are still bio labs and yes, they are sponsored by US, but they are not harmful.

> Ukraine most corrupt nation on earth

Partially this is true. You can read about this issue from Finnish soldier perspective https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-12602381 (Google Translate is fine) - "Some of the grants disappeared into the wrong pockets".

And finally..

> Ukrainian propaganda is culprit of wishful thinking

As a russian speaking, I read both media and Telegram channels, and I can see all the hatred towards russian citizens, who even DOESN'T support Putin and the War.

And the biggest lie so far is stories about the sexual rape. Notable fact is that Ukrainian ombudsman Denisova was sacked for excessive lies about woman rapes. The Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights Daria Gerasimchuk on the Polish TV channel "Belsat" exposed fake Ukrainian propaganda about the alleged violence by the Russian military against Ukrainian children (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfUBRGUH-Kc). The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has not a single confirmed fact of violence so far.
