    For anyone wondering, this sort of blatant Russian propaganda is evaluated using a higher level of scrutiny but will be tolerated so long as the content can be reasonably interpreted as not intending to incite or belittle Ukrainians.

    In this specific example, the claim ‘an Ukrainian assault by untrained and inexperienced prisoners was annihilated with ease’ would be in violation if it wasn’t so absurd, unsupported by the footage, and laughable.

    Why allow it? Ukrainian ideals include things like ‘freedom of the press/information’. In times of war this has significant limitations ofc but I for one am interested in hearing ‘their side’ of events as they happen so long as it is done in a neutral voice. Many truths can be gleaned from lies for people savvy enough to read between the lines.

    Rest assured this is not an open invitation for Russian bots to start spamming propaganda. This community will NOT become a Tankie Hellhole.
