I see. The sources you’re quoting (at least some, but again - gish gallop) do paint this picture a little bit differently.

Human Rights Watch said that insurgent forces have failed to take all feasible precautions to avoid deploying in densely populated areas, thereby endangering civilians in violation of the laws of war. In one case, separatist forces moved their base closer to the center of the town when Grad rockets struck their base and a nearby residential area.

That’s literally human shield strategy done by Donetsk insurgents.

Russian propaganda parts is to omit that information to put them in pity position instead conflicting position.

Another example, the Hill:

The odious Russian media tried to paint Ukraine as a land of Nazis, though that is patently wrong

I think you might be misunderstanding something and imagining me saying there is not US propaganda or Ukrainian propaganda, for example whitewashing Azov?

Gish gallop is a technique famously being used by Trump. Do better.

I’m not sure what’s the point you’re trying to make here. USA bad? Russia good and did nothing wrong? There’s no Russian propaganda before and after 2022? Please clarify.

For someone who should be resistant to USA propaganda, you seem very eager to consume Russian’s.
