a wise move to take every single thing you hear from media with a huge helping of salt. When coming from active war powers, double that effort.
At this point in time, I don't even trust "confirmed" information because most of the people supposedly confirming information are the same ones who cannot be trusted any other day.
The only things I can say I know for sure about the Ukraine situation is that there is indeed a war, a lot of people including innocents have died, and Russia is the aggressor. Beyond that, everything else is of varying trustworthiness.
