But in Russia, pro-Vladimir Putin media is celebrating the president, the Daily Beast reported, describing the reporting as a "fantasy land." At the top of his Wednesday broadcast, Soloviev Live, he shouted, Good morning Kyiv and Lviv! Trying to imitate "Good Morning, Vietnam," but citing the two Ukraine cities.

Professor of Communications Dmitry Evstafiev proclaimed: We won this round.
The exchange between him and host Vladimir Soloviev explained that because the West is negotiating with Russia they've won because they're being acknowledged instead of being isolated. Whether or not Putin has withdrawn troops, including in Crimea, they'll likely continue to spin it as a win.
"Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has dubbed recent Western intelligence leaks about Russias potential invasion of Ukraine as 'info-terrorism,'" said the report.

Russia is the premier PsyOps and Media Misinformation since 1917. The US pales in expertise.

I think we have been much better with psy ops since at least the 60's. It's just that now there are now competent foreign powers and internal partisan actors turning it on the domestic market, made much easier because of digital media and the contraction of traditional news and media.
