Both sides lie.
It's actually a strategy.
Putin picked this war.
And in all accounts this should of been over already.
But the Russians are not as strong as everybody thought.
Badly lead poorly trained and no motivation.
They didn't want to kill their brother Slavs in Ukraine.
Many had family in Ukraine.
Once the Russian troops realized they were the aggressor the fight left them.
Putin picked a fight with a determined Ukrainian force. And a well stupid Ukraine force just sunk a Russia flag ship.
The Ukrainians have the weapons to know turn the tide in southern Ukraine. .
And I might be over optimistic but I think the Ukrainians will push Russia out of crimea before this war is over.
