I guess it's intentional. Ukranian propaganda and fakes are fine because they foster the desired narrative. No one cares about your desire to be informed and to make your own conclusions.

In ilovaisk it was ukranian troops who were marching armed through the exit corridor. It's clear that this could escalate quickly. The exit corridors now are for civilians and there is at least the red cross who is monitoring. I find i

I don't know what nazi propaganda was. The narrative of the russian officials is like the ukranian army places its heavy units in residential areas which makes them difficult to attack without causing collateral damage. Cluster likely,

Thank you, I was not aware of that incident. I hope this war stops as soon as possible. The Russian people I know (including myself) don't support the war and are trying to help with the humanitarian aid, refugees etc (I'm outside

How does this even work? In that particular case has it crossed the journalists' mind to check what the Russian position is? Did he understand implicitly that would be frowned upon by the boss/editor? Gotta read that manufacturing

Not at all. The agreement to create temporary ceasefires to evacuate civilians were the only real outcome of the last talks. It was largely reported in Russian media. Today during the morning briefing the Russian officials said that the zon

How do we know that it were the Russians who didn't respect the ceasefire? EDIT: this point is being repeated over and over but I have not seen anything that would corroborate the ukranian side of the story (neither the russian to be f

The ukranian army benefits from the human shield. The russian don't since they can't attack without causing civilian deaths (and the associated backlash). But I guess you believe the Russians are eating civilians alive if they can

One possibility is that Yanukovich is more humane than putin or lukashenko. I don't know enough about him to compare but the last two are merciless dictators.

I guess the goal was not to condemn or to justify rather than to provide some context conveniently lacking in the mainstream media.

"Instigated" is inaccurate, I agree. There were protests going on but there's still a legitimate president (de jure at least). US diplomats are caught on tape discussing who should be and should not be in the new government.

Of course russia is the aggressor now, and people are generally fleeing west. My estimate for maidan times is based on preceding elections where "pro-russian" yanukovich won by a small margin.

He is not detested. He is deemed irrelevant as any other politician since putin has effectively destroyed the politics in Russia.

Obviously Ukraine didn't split in two and only small parts seceded. As to how many Ukrainians were unhappy with the new government - I don't have a good estimate as I wasn't interested in Ukranian politics and might be wrong.
