Russian propaganda machine was full force in America during the 2016 election and I’m sure it still is quite active to an extent in the states. What’s the general feel for Russian propaganda in Ukraine? Are there many Russian-supporting Ukrainians? Do many of them change opinions once Russia is in their towns?

Uhh I should note that I’m quite ignorant on the subject and if my question makes you irritated - I’m sorry I don’t mean to start anything.

    Please, everyone, be aware that yogthos is constantly spreading pro-russian propaganda across the fediverse, just check their comment history, and I’m honestly surprised how is that allowed on ukrainian community.

      Everything I say comes from western media sources, western academics, and western military experts. The fact that somebody would call that Russian propaganda is frankly surreal. The only thing that’s surprising here is that rational discussion of the situation in Ukraine is evidently no longer possible, and anybody who points out obvious and well documented things ends up having a bunch of trolls go after them. This sort of behavior should absolutely not make its way to the fediverse from the cesspool of reddit.
