Pointman, there's no "western propaganda" involved here. The information that is gaining traction is what has gotten traction on places like Reddit and Twitter. That of course does not mean that it's accurate, and much of it probably isn't, but it's a matter of what grabs peoples' attention.
So calling it "propaganda" is inaccurate - there is no person or group of people with an agenda pushing a particular narrative about this conflict, besides "Putin = bad dictator, invasion of Ukraine = bad war on false pretences", and that's not so much an agenda as the immediate, face-value reaction to everything that's happened that most people around the world seem to have. They don't need to be led by the nose to any conclusions in that regard.
