I can explain a bit. Russians living in Empire of Evil can see all internet including US and EU news. At the same time 'Putin propaganda' channels are blocked in EU. In EU only one side is available. This creates an information bubble, as intended. Which is a basic crowd control technique used to drive public opinion. In this case to support the war. The result is obvious, EU polls show much stronger support than the rest of the world. Even though media claims most of the world is against Putin, if you look at the map it's only minority, NATO and a few allies. In some EU countries it's even a crime look through the bubble's wall. Most don't realize it even exists. They accept the arguments from their politicians. Like it's a business opportunity, or it's a cheap way to harm Putin. The price for that is hundreds of thousands of human lives on both sides. Which is generally considered as ok, as those are Russians and Ukrainians, not us. Actually media doesn't talk much about it.

Hahahaha, what? Most of western news sources are blocked in russia after they published Bucha reports. They are literally jailing people for mentioning it on personal vk pages and such.

I don't think that's true. You can find a lot of that online, with or without commentary. There are even European comentators siding with adjecent views. Though it doesn't leak into European public media too much (although some of its more absurdist concepts sadly do).

It's just that "the other side of the story" is something that vast majority of Europeans are repulsed by because of its intrinsic idiocy, blatant disingenuity and evilness. Some of the European countries that got out from under russian influence remember it from the times of poverty and oppression. That's where the part of the opinion bias on that subject between Europe and the rest of the world comes from. Firsthand expeirience with russia. Supporting Ukraine is both helping Ukraine with their current russian expeirience and possibly a hope of saving all future Europeans from having russian expeirience ever again.

Europeans having stronger opinions than others about Russia invading Europe is not evidence of a conspiracy.

while all of you Putin supporters are such a peace loving people, right?

That's just not true, e.g. Russia also blocked the German propaganda channel dw.com (Deutsche Welle).

Ah yes calling DW a propaganda channel.

We found the Russian state actor account here.

[red_trumpet]

DW is literally the only German state owned media, financed directly by tax money. And they don't even have a German broadcast anymore.

Compare this to the other German public broadcasting (ARD and ZDF), who are financed by their own (obligatory) dues ("Rundfunkbeitrag"), which is set by politics, but cannot be easily taken away from them.

Here's a litmus test for German propaganda channels:
