> Russian troops surrender to a local old guy in a village this is very incorrect description, there is nothing like that in that episode. Local guy (why old?) is saying he will not allow Russians to come close to his house because he is afraid of shelling from Ukrainian artillery.

One of the most annoying effects of modern warfare between developed countries (after deaths, suffering, devastation, etc etc) is that the internet gets filled with all sorts of propaganda crap from both sides. It reaches a point where every day makes me want to turn off the internet like it were April 1 - because you literally cannot trust anyone anymore.

  The "Ghost of Kyiv" flight sim footage being pushed by the Ukrainian MoD was a particularly absurd moment. It will be interesting to see how many of the prominent narratives turn out to be bullshit in a few weeks.

      We aren't? Obviously the primary goal is to influence Ukrainian morale, but an important secondary objective is to convince Westerners to petition their leaders to send Ukraine weapons, money, and materiel. Part of that involves convincing people that Ukraine has a fighting chance.
