    considering a lot of people are buying the "Ukraine is actually unassailable and all the people are slaughtering Russians by the dozens" idea the propaganda wants to push, it makes sense to push the idea that the Ukrainian people actually are just suffering horribly and we should push for a fast end to the war. Of course, that might not be what they're saying to you.

      Russia has to seem both strong and prone to collapse at any moment, resulting in a narrative that Ukraine is both winning and losing simultaneously

      The reality of an imminent Russian victory and widespread suffering of Ukrainian civilians aren't as easily conveyed I guess
