Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war. But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air d
Now that the Ukraine war is no longer winnable, they don't need to prop up a propaganda regime as much anymore. That's my guess anyway. You see that quite often in liberal democracies actually. While an event is going on, the propaganda is at full blast. Once it's done and there is no longer a political threat from the event, the assessment becomes far more sober and realistic (within limits)

That seems like the most plausible explanation, also lets them get ahead of the story before Russia starts talking about it I guess.
