Everything I read about this war feels like propaganda. I know propaganda during war isn't a new thing, but any good news I hear goes in one ear and out the other. My gut tells me almost all of the information is fake or dramatically exaggerated.

The lies they add are things they need to be true and they know each lie (contra Churchill) needs a bodyguard of truth or it'll be seen for what it is. The clearest example of this to me is the broad similarities between the maps that show who controls what territory that the Russians and the non-Russians are producing. They're not the same but there's more agreement there then you'd expect if it was just people making up anything and everything out of whole cloth. The real ground truth is probably that no one knows exactly who's controlling what piece of ground but the confusion behind that isn't designed.
