Max, you would be with me if you took the time to just listen to the Russian argument :)
If you chose to access RT for example, you would be aware they have never deviated from their assertion that their action in Ukraine is "A Mission", in response to the constant expansion of NATO towards their borders, extended by the endless supplies of weapons being poured in.
I don't believe anyone is fooled now into thinking pouring weapons in was/is a good idea, unless maybe they back a policy of using them as disposable fodder to draw Russian fire towards sensitive targets, like grain stores, and parts of occupied cities, so afterwards we can lamely point the finger at them and say "Look what they did".
Spinning the action of Russia in Ukraine as a war against Ukraine, is exactly what mainstream news is trying to do, but actually it is a proxy war with the US and allies, just like Syria was, only this time it is on their border, in Ukraine.
As for the opinion of Africa, and places like them, probably most of Asia, I trust the opinion of Indi.ca, I linked his article. Btw, most of those countries have not banned Russian media. I know because my VPN accesses RT from endpoints set there, and you would know too, if you did the same.
The mission of the information war is obviously to dehumanise Russia, and it is succeeding, if we think its OK to just switch off their voices to all people.
As for me being seemingly alone in my own mission of working on the fix to the environmental and energy problem, Medium might give that impression, but things are starting to happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGV3Om3X8MI
