    Maybe the Ukrainian government could try, I don't know, verifying things before putting out official statements.

    Then don't put out official statements. I mean this isn't difficult.

    "We have lost contact with all soldiers stationed on Snake Island. At this time we don't know if they are dead or have been captured."

    Why is that so difficult?

    You don't know what intel the guy had. Probably saw from sat feeds that the island was obliterated by missiles and it is easy to assume they are dead. I'm sure the Ukrainian President has a lot more going on and can't take the time to worry about your fancies.

    Alright so propaganda is okay as long as you agree with the side spreading propaganda. Glad we got that cleared up.

    Propaganda is propaganda and I never said anything about it. Nice strawman.

    The fact that the Government of Ukraine IS saying they are alive means it wasn't intentional.

    Right. I'm sure if Putin accused Ukraine of bombing a civilian center and killing 10,000 civilians then a week later said "Oops! My bad! That never happened!" you would totally give Putin the benefit of the doubt and say he has too much shit going on to worry about getting pesky things like facts right.

    Of course it's propaganda to accuse the other side of killing a bunch of soldiers who didn't even put up a fight after all they said was "Go fuck yourself."

    Just because they didn't verify it first doesn't suddenly not make it propaganda.

    Yes, a civilian center and 10,000 killed is the same thing as 13 soldiers on a random island. You're making a strawman army here.

    Twitter has began to flag all state run Russian media posts in an effort to stop misinformation over their service.

    Ukraine has requested the join the EU as soon as possible, signing the membership accords today.
