Critical fact about information battlefield is that Russia doesn't want to spread pictures of Ukrainian dead to dampen Ukrainian rage, whereas Ukrainians have an interest in milking every Russian corpse (real; their own in friendly fire; or invented) for all its worth.

There's a logic to this. Ukrainians know they're outmatched, so when the victory propaganda reaches some critical level of incredibility, they will collapse dramatically. Previously objective Western mil-analysts like Kofman support Ukraine & tow this line.
This creates a warped impression of the facts on the ground. But maps tell the story. You cannot accomplish this over 4 days if you're having your columns lighted up every hour.

You can see the propaganda offensive in many other spheres as well. For instance, there are intense efforts to blow Russian relatively tiny anti-war protests out of proportion; to create FUD around Chinese support for Russia's position; etc.
