BBC? Well they do have quite good standing worldwide as to being reliable, but we here in the UK, like so many others, do get a chance at viewing all sorts of views as to virtually anything - ah, for press freedoms - Putin, take note - as if.
Haha - really think that so many Russians have the ability to search out non-governmental information, especially when their media and computer access is state-controlled. This is more the issue, that he is preaching the message to those who cannot be allowed to have other viewpoints - given he has destroyed any political opposition, has booted out all independent media, and threatens (and imposes) ludicrous punishments on those who oppose him. Like to see that in wherever you live?
Winning? You must have ignored the fact of his 'special operation' having turned into a full-scale war between the two countries (and lasting a year and a half so far), and even if neither side will come out of this as winners, it was Putin who has instigated this, has seemingly miscalculated, and who will ultimately be seen as the fool that he is.
Again haha. There is only propaganda coming out of Russia, given opposing views are simply silenced. Do you really think that many of us in the West accept any and all news coming out about this conflict?
There is no independent media in Russia - so please supply such. As to the second, perhaps you have missed all the news concerning so many who were once close to Putin or even supported him but who seemingly have died in mysterious ways. And this is besides the ones we know were most likely targeted by Putin for crossing him - even a very recent example.
There is no independent media in Russia. No opposing views allowed. And fewer freedoms now due to Putin being in command.
Citing other nations and examples of decadence is hardly a good argument. We are supposed to be above such things in modern democracies. Well, those of us who do have some principles - like proper justice.
