I think Zelensky,he is bipolar,because he negotiate with Russia when NATO isn't interested,but now he refuses to negotiate with Russia,because NATO supports him!
sometimes negotiate with Russia,sometimes negotiator with Russia,loop to loop!
Well if you can spot the difference there, may be it gives some hints as to who is the other real major player in this conflict.

You may disagree and take it as a joke. but the Russian army's forces so far appeared disciplined in the few interactions they had with civilians (from the footage so far), where they are directly confronted by them (which of course is understandable), but they were never harmed or harassed from what I've seen.

From that footage, while granted - they do have their bias, they seem to understand that this war is a political goal or a compromise that was failed to be reached diplomatically thus far, and no other options were left on the table - pinning them against a brotherly nation. It's not some kind of territorial grab from the last century as it's being summarized by most.

While what is popping up from the Ukrainian side is mocking on dead combatants' bodies, insults, despise and derogatory language not just towards the soldiers or the Kremlin, but also regular Russians themselves, which doesn't quite fit with the narrative of hateful, aggressive Russians that are invading just because "Putin is evil and wants to restore the USSR, end of story", and perhaps that fantasy world of "good vs evil" which is constantly being spewed out on the mainstream media.

I'm not taking sides of either, but I do feel like while the Russian media is questioned to a significant degree both domestically and internationally, I'm really surprised how most folks don't hesitate for a second before taking for granted the words of western media, as if it were the ultimate source of ultimate, untouched, infallible truth coming from the sky.

Just some thoughts that came to my mind. I hope cooler heads with clear understanding of the situation and its roots prevail, and an agreement is reached, because this is a tragedy that should have never happened, and it's too late to look in the past and start pointing fingers.

That indeed one of the issue I, and many of my colleagues, are having right now.

Most of the news are coming from "the West" (Ukraine included). Official and independent/amateur medias.

Thing is, over the past few days, a rather significant portion of reports were either incorrect, misleading, false or fabricated.
Not all, but an amount larger than what you would usually expect. Especially coming from the so-called winning side.

There is no counter-weight. There is no, or barely any, Russian version of the events.

To be clear, I don't view this conflict as good guy vs. bad guy. But rather like two angry slavs whaling on each other with folding chair in a kmart parking lot, egged on by people watching from the safety of their cars. Ukraine is absolutely winning the meme war though.
One could delve into the deeper roots of the problem and what eventually caused it to burst the way it did. One take could ne that invading another sovereign nation is a "bad guy" move,agreed, but there's much more to the story including decades of manipulation by the rest of the world. Ukraine has alternated between a being a Russia/NATO proxy and unfortunately they're just right in the middle of it.
But that's a whole other conversation.

Another point to ponder is the modern fog of war.
Media is unreliable.
Official statements by governments are unreliable.
Firsthand accounts are unreliable.
Everyone has a camera, yet we can hardly trust what we see.
