tldr; You spot propaganda when "The News" gives you smoke without fire, implications without facts.
Lips don't match soundtrack, dance & song clash.
It means "The News" wants to mislead you, away from truth.
- What is Sudzha?
Hub for AFU (Ukraine) forces who invaded Russia (Kursk)
- What just happened in Sudzha?
AFU apparently beaten in surprise attack, where Russia troops marched in pipeline beneath Earth, like March 8 or 9.
Video post March 11, "Wagner, Russian Imperial, VDV and Russian state flags [newly raised] in the center of Sudzha."

(before you feel upset - remember it's Russia home territory, they have right)

- What does "The News" say about it?
& how is "The News" propaganda?
- New York Times, lib & pro-Ukraine, Tue 3/11 says, Russia begins, -begins- assault. Remember: Russia got there March 8 or 9.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/world/europe/ukraine-sudzha-russian-forces.html
NYT fogs up what already happened. You'd never know.
- Kyiv Independent says, Russia "reportedly" entered Sudzha, but doubtful as "Kyiv hasn't confirmed".

Kyiv Independent fogs up what already happened. You'd never know.
- Sky News, conservative & pro-Ukraine, said, back on March 9, that Russia forces "crept" through pipeline but had great difficulties in "attempt" at attack, "attempt" implies failure.

Sky smokescreen -distracts you from central facts-, that Russia forces emerged fine - no later than March 8 - with advantage of surprise.
Sky anti-reality programming, this time, gets plain krazy.
"Footage from inside the pipeline claims to show the elite soldiers swearing and complaining about the commanders who sent them on the mission." - Uh huh.
like soldiers of every attack ever
"Ukraine's general staff confirmed on Saturday [3/8] that Russian soldiers had used the pipeline...[whereupon AFU] destroyed Moscow's units...the enemy's losses are very high" - Uh huh
& what about, "Kyiv has not confirmed" even as late as Tue March 11?
- Conclusion
If you follow "The News", you're misinformed.
You think "Kyiv" either had victory in Sudzha, or is about to.
Nope!
Many such examples.
This post only looks at 1.
