The so-called mainstream media often beat their chests, claiming they proudly resist Kremlin propaganda and have never spread any hoaxes. The opposite is true. It is very sad that they have not apologized for these hoaxes to this day . I call on the so-called mainstream media: when will you finally apologize for falling for the Kremlin's hoaxes about the absence of Russian soldiers in Crimea, calling it a home guard, and when will you apologize for the Russian soldiers who started the war in southeastern Ukraine?
It must be openly acknowledged that the Kremlin is absolutely brilliant in propaganda. The Kremlin has completely overwhelmed the West with its propaganda in terms of hybrid warfare. The West is clearly unable to counter disinformation propaganda from Russia and is losing the information war by a wide margin.
Putin's admirers argue that there are no Russian soldiers in the southeast of Ukraine and never have been, and that the separatists are people from a spontaneous popular uprising. They argue that the separatists cannot be Russian soldiers, since even the West does not say so. The catch, however, is that the West itself has been infiltrated by Russian propaganda.
Proof of the infiltration of Russian propaganda into pro-Western Slovak media. These articles mention the term Russian propaganda "domobrana", while in reality it was professional Russian soldiers, duly authorized by Putin and the Russian Minister of Defense.

The documentary film "Crimea: The Road Home", although full of outright lies and propaganda, still features both Putin himself and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu admitting that the mysterious unmarked green men were not innocent "militiamen", but rather officially deployed Russian soldiers. The film also mentions the official deployment of Russian Cossacks, who are also an official part of the Russian army. Despite this, Western media picked up Russian propaganda and spoke of "militia".

The so-called main "separatist" commander of the subversion in the SE of Ukraine, Igor Girkin Strelkov, who had previously commanded military operations in Crimea, strongly questioned that the annexation of Crimea had the support of the population. He admitted that the Crimean MPs were forced to vote for secession from Ukraine by force. Clear evidence that Putin deliberately lied to the camera in the film "Crimea: The Way Home"

Authentic evidence of how Putin lied
An interesting video and clear evidence of how Putin openly lied. At first, Putin referred to the unmarked green men in Crimea as local militias, but later admitted that they were professional, unbadged Russian soldiers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwL_D1V34ncEven in front of Western journalists (the video is probably from the Valdai Club), Putin had no problem admitting that Russian soldiers started the unrest in the SE of Ukraine. This is quite clear from the context of what Putin is saying. He says that in the SE of Ukraine, the Kremlin intervened/reacted similarly to Crimea, which implies that it was also with the help of Russian soldiers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p9K07vK12A
