Let's try another exercise in logical reasoning:

1. At the moment in Russia one can be sentenced to 15 years in jail for spreading false information about Russian military operation in Ukraine

2. Vladimir Solovyov and a number of (related, or unrelated, I really don't know) Telegram channels have spread information that it indeed was Russian forces bombing a hospital in Mariupol, and the strike was justified because far-right fighters had their firing positions in the hospital buildings.

3. Russian state TV channel Russia-1 has spread information that it was not Russian forces bombing the hospital.

Of course, it is always possible that I've not understood something quite correctly, for my own Russian language skills have greatly rusted since the times I studied Russian. So, anyone who knows better feel free to correct if I've got points 1. 2. or 3. incorrect. But assuming that they are more or less true, it logically follows that:

Either Vladimir Solovyov or Russia-1 is spreading false information.

So all we need to do is just to wait to see which one gets prosecuted and jailed?

EDIT: OK so now the situation seems to be this;

Foreign Minister Lavrov has stated that the hospital strike was legitimate, for there were no civilians there but only far-right combatants.
Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov has stated that Russian forces absolutely did not bomb the hospital.

I'm waiting to see which one of them gets jailed for spreading fake information. Probably Lavrov, for the official truth is that Russia is not invading Ukraine but merely carrying out a high-precision special operation, so Lavrov's statements are more in disagreement with the official truth, while mr. Konashenkov plays it safe by aligning with the official narrative.

(In case anyone wonders why I'm going this much into the details, the reason is: At Steam some people mocked Sami and me for they thought we are ignorant and foolish to believe in "one-sided Western media propaganda". Such a strange accusation, huh! I really have no idea if any of those Steam users are interested enough to follow my daily pictures, but because of my own state of mind here I'm more like speaking to myself without that much intention to communicate with another people, it is easier that way given my current semi-autistic mood. Oh, so - the point is that the reason I don't believe in that much of the Russian version of the story is not because I'm ignorant, but the exact opposite ; I'm aware of the so called "Russian point of view", I have read their stories, I ponder everything from many sides without hatred, without hysteria, without bias, just calmly weighing statements against logic and evidence. And I must say that there hardly is logic nor evidence to back the Kremlin narrative - other than the main story; they want to reclaim all the territory which used to be Soviet Union. I understand that, and they've been coherent with that plan. But the way I think about it, wasting a lot of resources and human lives to conquer neighboring countries, that serves little good for the good ordinary Russian folk. Honestly, I think Kremlin doesn't care that much about the well-being and prosperity of the ordinary people, so in that sense Kremlin is anti-Russian.)
