It's really hard for russians to believe anything but official russian party line. There is a real russian nazi bias of believing in "great russia" and "lesser" Ukrainians. Then all the news are filtered through that confirmation bias. If you really want to stay objective, ground yourself in hard facts like 1. russia invaded Ukraine 2. russia bombed various cities to the ground 3. russia lost its originally invaded territories around Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson regions which amounts about half since 2022 invasion 4. russian military losses as reported by Ukraine are close enough to media confirmed by OSINT like oryx etc. 5. maps are hard truth which is mostly converge to the same from both sides That said, nobody can convince anyone who wants to stay delusional. And ru propaganda machine (including online bots) is largely directed at constantly generating multiple conflicting lies to muddy the waters.
