It's because, contrary to what slavish Ukraine Flag In Profile NPCs believe, most of us don't really support either side. I'm very much not pro Ukraine, but I'm apathetic towards Russia. I don't care enough about the war to even attempt to wade through the disinfo campaigns in order to figure out what's going on.

As such, I take most of what I hear through an objective lens. The western regime and its useful idiots are 100% subjective all the time, so they discard any information that doesn't fit their views. They also have a tendency to wildly hallucinate any time anyone says anything even mildly critical of Ukraine.
