Poland was an accident and a Russian missile did land close to the border.

What snake island hoax?

Ghost of Kyiv was started by a youtuber.

1. An accident they first blamed on Russia (false flag), then denied, now continue to deny. Notably, they haven't apologized. They haven't helped the families. They don't care. Friendly fire on civilians in NATO countries? They can't even own up to it.

2. Ukraine claimed the Snake Island soldiers were killed in action, when in reality none were.

3. Ukraine supported, magnified and repeated the lie. The official Ukraine Twitter account magnified the false claim, repeatedly.

All three of those things are clear propaganda.

1. It was a fair assumption to make, not a false flag.

2. Because they lost all contact with them and the ship started shooting at the island.

3. Because the concept of the Ghost of Kyiv went from one pilot to represent the entire airforce.
