Oh I can post more than one source but it also comes with graphic images. As for Tom all he says is there's BS talk without posting anything. I guess he's just giving his opinion, right?

Popular Russian Telegram channels deny Ukrainian propaganda fakes.

Automatic translation:

Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a large-scale online offensive on Telegram and Twitter.

Ukrainians are attacking, and Russian troops are leaving their positions en masse, well, in any case, approximately such drug fantasies can be read in the telegram channels of Kyiv. It was the Nazi leaders, including Zheka Karas, who actively propagated these virtual victories in Bakhmut.

"In the evening, Ukrainian telegram channels reported a significant advance of the armed forces of Ukraine along the Svatovo-Kremennaya line. Kremennaya is said to have already been taken, and the Russians have begun to retreat from Svatovo. There is no official confirmation," wrote the calmer UkroSMI.

What is actually happening? That night, complete silence reigns in Svatovo and its surroundings, there are not even artillery duels.
Artillery battles are taking place in the Kremennaya area. The enemy decided to hit Chervopopovka with GRAD, but received a response from our artillery.

During the day, there are indeed battles on the front line, the front is moving, but ours are moving forward, meter by meter, pushing the Nazis out of the land of Donbass. The information is 100% verified - by our comrades from this section of the front.

Even prominent Kiev propagandists deny yesterday's "successes" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

There's many videos going around of a bunch of dead Russian soldiers in Bakhmut with one sector having 19 dead just today but I won't be posting it since there's no point unless I get called out that what I'm saying is false.

I don't get it where are all the Russian tanks and other armored vehicles? Why aren't blitzing Bakhmut since it seems the hotspot of this Ukraine war is Bakhmut and Kreminna which they are also losing ground. Why are T-90M's going to Belarus and not Bakhmut front? Doesn't make sense.

"Our task is not Bakhmut itself, but the destruction of the Ukrainian army and the reduction of its combat potential, which has an extremely positive effect on other areas, which is why this operation was dubbed the 'Bakhmut meat grinder.'"

Why hide if they are winning?

Sergei Gaidai, "governor" of Lugansk. Nice joke. Ukraine's control over Lugansk oblast is minimal at best.

To be fair Russia also has governors over territories they don't control.

It is just standard procedure so there is someone ready to do administrative stuff as soon as the frontline moves there I'd say.

If you consider that a joke, then what's your opinion of this.

At the ceremony on Friday, Putin said Russia has “four new regions”, calling the residents of Ukraine’s occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions “our citizens forever”.

“We will defend our land with all our strength and all our means,” he added, calling on “the Kyiv regime to immediately cease hostilities and return to the negotiation table”.

Compare in that map the land area Russia controls of Kherson Oblast with the one Ukraine controls of Luhansk Oblast.

Both occasions are a joke. What's different is the how big of a joke each occasion is. So yeah, no double standards. You may call the Ukrainian move as a joke, that's fair, but you cannot hide under the carpet Russia's move.
