I don't believe anything,I just try to look at both sides propaganda and attempt to see where the truth might be. Impossible task maybe but worth the try,but if you are happier with the BBC and Euronews only,good for you.
the website is funded by the Kremlin. You trust sites that are killing people. Behave.
 
Even some Everton fans residing in the West looks like would be tricked by Putin's propaganda machine, imagine being a Russian in Russia, can't really blame them.

Nowhere have I stated I trusted it. Do you think the footage is faked?
I'm sure we have forum members who know far more than me about if it could be or is faked. Maybe they will or won't comment.

you linked it here shamelessly? that's a site funded by blood
 
Your choice to open a link or not,I'd imagine if it was a link showing Russian troops murdering Ukrainian troops you'd open and share it gladly.
It's on the worldwide web it can be viewed or ignored.

In 2016, Finnish journalist Jessikka Aro writing in Springer Link described SouthFront as "an allegedly citizen-sourced project that looks more like a suspicious information operation." Describing it as "a fascinating hybrid of revealingly detailed military intelligence and totally bogus stories," she said that the site's content centers on "the success of Russia's armed forces, and showing off Russia's weapons."[3]

In 2020, the US State Department described SouthFront as part of Russia's "disinformation and propaganda ecosystem," where Russian state actors team with others whose connection to Russia was less clear, in order to get wide attention for their ideas.[1]

In 2021 and again in 2022, the US Treasury announced sanctions against SouthFront, calling it in 2021 "an online disinformation site registered in Russia that...attempts to appeal to military enthusiasts, veterans, and conspiracy theorists, all while going to great lengths to hide its connections to Russian intelligence."[4][5]

The 2022 Treasury report alleged that SouthFront was sanctioned in part for being "owned or controlled by, or for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the FSB" which is Russia's successor to Soviet Union's KGB.[5]

I'd be very surprised if the US hadn't said that.

so I should cite a Kremlin funded site to counter it? sweet. how can you look in the mirror, reading things written by criminals who kill innocent people? you should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm not attempting to counter anything,a forum member commented on the possible treatment of British POWs held by the Russians I linked a video hoping they weren't treated as badly as some Russian POWs have been.
