One of the first reactions from the government and Ukraine was that this was all Russian disinformation. Then within a couple of days other media sources weighed in and there was considerable debate, until this guy was identified.
So yes. Many people have hypothesized this was Russian disinformation.

- kadoban 3y agoNone of that really seems to support this claim: > "Let's not forget both the media and the government have spent the last couple of weeks on a gaslighting tour telling us the leak was Russian propaganda, etc." They all call it a leak and specify that parts of it appear doctored, which is also what I said, right? Has any of that changed or been disproven?
