Western Media has started calling out some of the claims Kiev has been making recently, because facts on the ground aren't supporting them.
Or maybe there’s this thing called fog of war, where rumors abound and false information sometimes spreads. I’m sure it’s never happened in any prior conflict... /sarc
“Ukraine has destroyed the majority of a Russian military convoy which crossed over its border on Thursday night, the country’s president said yesterday. {Aug 14th}
Petro Poroshenko claimed his forces had attacked the column of armoured personnel carriers and that most had been ‘eliminated’ – but warned Russian arms continue to flow in to rebel fighters.
The Ukrainian president revealed details when he spoke on the phone to David Cameron”
The Russian defense Ministry denies that ATO forces captured Russian APC

No evidence, huh? Nothing like a BMD-2 captured from the Russian federation Pskov airborne brigade to spoil that fake narrative, along with the 2 tanks that went through Torez last night with their Russian Federation flags flying, not to mention the Russian Federation self-propelled howitzer,....
“an earlier claim about an invasion by Vladimir Putin’s troops amounted to a crude propaganda move by the pro-Western Kiev government”
That’s the thing — they’ve still got this old Soviet mentality that their citizens are obligated to believe whatever clumsy propaganda the government spews. How is that in any way “pro-western”? It isn’t even pro-modern. Sounds like EU globalist fascism to me.
Whatever happened to this story?
Ukraine said it destroyed much of a column of Russian armored vehicles that had rolled over the border into territory held by pro-Moscow rebels, marking the most direct military clash between the ex-Soviet neighbors since the conflict began.
First, there is a brazen lie, widely reported by the Western MSM.
Then there is a sheepish U-turn from Kiev junta.
Followed by the deafening silence of Western MSM.
The only exception is MH17, no U-turn yet, but there is a deafening silence of MSM since August 8.
Interesting.
Now imagine a Russian Defense Council spokesman contradicting Putin propaganda like Lysenko is contradicting false information from Kiev.
I can't.
And imagine the Russia "press"(lol) contradicting Putin propaganda like the Western press is contradiction the false information from Kiev.
And again, I can't.
And that there is the difference.
