Various videos and other primary Ukrainian and Russian sources show that #Bakhmut has fallen to Russian mercenary Wagner forces after heavy and long battle. google.com/maps/d/viewer?… Image

#Zelensky denies fall of #Bakhmut despite evidence, like he did with fall of Mariupol & Severodonetsk. He ordered Ukrainian forces not to retreat from these cities despite heavy losses & threat of encirclement for political & propaganda reasons.
Garbage in, garbage out. It is revealing that many continue to take at face value propaganda by Western, Ukrainian & Russian politicians, media & self-proclaimed experts & ignore or deny evidence concerning Ukraine-Russia war.
Yes
Over 83,000 views already but mainstream media is silent: "World-renowned intellectual Jeffrey Sachs will speak on “The Path to Peace in Ukraine..." He will be joined by University of Ottawa Ukraine expert Ivan Katchanovski who will provide background..."
My analysis of coverage of post-communist countries by main US TV networks from 1998 to 2009 reveals more positive coverage of U.S. allies than non-allies or adversaries & systematic biases in representation of many post-Soviet countries, including Ukraine researchgate.net/publication/25…

It was clear since war start that odds of Ukraine defeating Russia are heavily against Ukraine. But Western & Ukrainian government leaders, media & self-proclaimed experts pushed propaganda about defeat of Russia in order to justify proxy war & denounce peaceful resolution.
"U.S. officials are planning for the growing possibility that the Russia-Ukraine war will turn into a frozen conflict that lasts many years - perhaps decades- and joins the ranks of similar lengthy face-offs in the Korean peninsula, South Asia and beyond" politico.com/news/2023/05/1…
Biden to accept de facto Russian annexation of parts of Ukraine: "The options discussed within the Biden administration for a long-term “freeze” include where to set potential lines that Ukraine and Russia would agree not to cross, but which would not have to be official borders"

President of EU Commission: “Today, war is back in Europe. But for many Ukrainians, this conflict began already ten years ago. It began when peaceful protesters, just waving the European flags in Maidan Square, were shot dead by snipers." Yes, but by Maidan opposition snipers. 1/

Orwellian: Despite closure of opposition TV & other media, creation of single news program on all TV channels, censorship & persecution of journalists & "despite the war, Ukraine has risen from 106th to 79th place in the press freedom index." #PressFreedom pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/…
"By ordinary standards, the position of the press in Ukraine has not improved in the past year, but dramatically worsened. In an exhaustive article, Branko Marcetic (Jacobin) thoroughly outlined how democratic institutions have deteriorated in Ukraine." fair.org/home/ukraines-…

Whitewashing of Azov by Western media continues
washingtonpost.com/world/2023/04/…
WP omits that Azov brigade interim commander "leading the rebuilding effort" was activist of radical nationalist & neo-Nazi Right Sector, which was involved in Maidan & Odesa massacres & violent government overthrow. He was one of neo-Nazi-led Azov battalion/regiment commanders.

"Leaked papers reveal reality behind Ukraine war propaganda — and it's grim. Corporate media have assured us the war's going well and Ukraine will win. That now looks like disinformation." salon.com/2023/04/24/lea…
Yes, this was clear propaganda & disinformation by government officials, politicians, media & "pundits" in order to justify continuation of proxy war with negative consequences to Ukraine and Ukrainians:
"The publication of these assessments should lead to renewed calls for our government to level with the public about what it realistically hopes to achieve by prolonging the bloodshed, and why it continues to reject the resumption of the promising peace negotiations it blocked."
