Until we get a neutral third party, which I believe does not exist, to take a close look (on the ground in the Ukraine) at what is going on, then nothing you see or hear coming from any mainstream media outlet or government spokesperson or politician should be considered fact.
Right now almost everything is propaganda.
There are some independent media and reporters that have a good track record when it comes to reporting the truth from war zones. You need to find them. Check reporting on Syria especially the gas attacks. Some people did get it right the first time. Those are the people you need to find.
