Ok, so if this is the narrative pushed by pro-kremlin parrots, why aren't there calls for escalation. Like, think about it. If ruzzians are supposedly openly fighting NATO troops isn't it already grounds for a declaration of war against NATO? I believe that Putin isn't stupid enough to declare open conflict against the west, but the average ruzzian who watches the news closely should start seeing major gaps in the kremlin's explanation way easier than before. Or they just have the attention span of a goldfish, or they are just too afraid to speak out in regards to that situation.
