Maybe, MAYBE? You've got to be joking. Check the Reporters without Borders Press Freedom index. Russia has one of the worst press freedom environments in the world. And it has been like that for a long time. Russians have almost no chance to hear directly what is really going on in Ukraine. If you even call it a war or an invasion on air your career is over and you will likely go to jail for 15 years. Essentially all Independent media had to shut down within a month of the start of the invasion due to government pressure. You wrote 100 articles on the Ukraine war and supporting Russia and you don't know this? Wow.
