ymmv
Ukraine’s assertions are confirmed by independent sources - Russia’s aren’t .

There’s the difference…

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Well I suppose technically they have not lost anything compared to the start of the war, since none of it was theirs then ...

The majority of the worlds governments are against Russia so it is not hard to believe we are being manipulated in following the narrative. I see nothing in your link that proves to me I can trust them the same as I can not trust news coming out of Russia.
Maybe if I was to say Baaaaa you would understand

Big difference between propaganda and a multi nation conspiracy to hide the truth from their citizens, bit insulting to journalists here actually imo

I do not understand what point you are making here?
Only a naive person would think we are not being lied to by those in power on a daily basis

If you don't believe anything then what value is there in following or commenting on this story? There is no factual basis to start a discussion.

It’s not a Government organisation…

The Ukraine War is also being reported by multiple other OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) source, none of which are Governmental.

There’s cynicism and there’s bloody-minded blindness to reality…

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Mate, I was actively involved in Intelligence Collection and Analysis when I was in the RAF, working with GCHQ, NSA, and the US Armed Forces - I know how SIGINT/OSINT works, and how propaganda works.
Mistrusting everything isn’t maintaining an agnostic view - it’s blinding yourself to any truthful information, by treating everything as false; research, collect, analyse, verify - the basics of fact-finding…

On which note, Ukraine seems to be recapturing ground and Russia has gone all quiet.

I think full scale invasions of any moderate sized country has proven difficult since the end of WWII. When you consider the failures in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice. The only real exception that comes to mind is Iraq and I guess that was not that big and had a lot going on against it on the inside with it being a factional country

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
This is as close to confirmation of the Ukrainian advances as you'll get from Russia.
