Ukraine has unexpectedly postponed exchanging prisoners of war and accepting the bodies of killed soldiers for an indefinite period, Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky said on Saturday.

It's the Kremlin aide that they're calling the propaganda.

Reuters just quoted the Kremlin.

The exchange was agreed upon by both sides at the Istanbul negotiations. Russia showed up at the designated location and Ukraine didn't. The media was there to document it. Pretty cut and dry.

That's a conversation you might want to have with the original commenter.

If you follow up the comment chain I was trying to help clarify their comment for the thread because I think OP is criticizing what Russia said and not Reuters as a source, yet the latter is being focused on in this thread.

Known non-Russian propaganda outlet lemmy.ml has told us the truth us yet again???

I'm really getting confused about which sources we should arbitrarily dismiss.

That's fair to be confused! Every "side" is telling you to read their sources and dismiss everyone else's but the list changes depending on who you talk to.

I would say to start, probably don't arbitrarily dismiss sources. I dont think thats worthwhile advice not to hear people out.

If a lot of people are trying to keep you from looking at something, I would say it's probably important to go get the real story for yourself instead of vibing it out from a billion different opinions.

Instead, move closer to the source. In that case, like in this Reuters article, Reuters can be removed from the story.

We could go direct to the transcription of Medinsky's full statement.

Try to read what others are saying and really try to hear them for what they're actually meaning to say.
