I Want To Remind People Of A Russian Propaganda Narrative
When you see articles, even from reliable MSM sources, that Ukraine is losing the war, call BS on them.
This is the narrative that Putin is pushing for several reasons.
1. The war has become unpopular with unwashed Russians.
2. All that Putin has is his war economy and every day I read where Ukraine has bombed a Russian refinery. Gasoline is being rationed in Crimea, inflation is growing in Russia, people are grumbling.
3. Russia has suffered 1.16 million casualties since 2022.
4. Russia can't afford to pay its soldiers.
5. Russia is having trouble recruiting cannon fodder. Russian recruiters were arrested in South Africa for recruiting men to fight in Ukraine.
6. Russia is leaving its dead and wounded on the battlefield.
7. Winter is coming.
8. The BIG ONE - Russia wants to use this propaganda to force Ukraine into signing a surrender agreement that is backed by Krasnov.
Ukraine will never surrender.

You make this statement:
And then follow it with a list of true statements that are NOT Russian propaganda.
To make clear that “this” refers to the prior statement about propaganda, and not the list of truths that follows, might I suggest you change “this” to “that”.
(Sorry to nitpick your syntax, but clarity of communication is crucial these days)
