What excellent fakes are you talking about? A lot of claims by each side are just that, claims. For example, Ukraine claims to shot down two huge Russian IL-76 planes, but I haven’t seen any photos or videos of these yet, fake or real. In this case, I think we’ll find out if it’s true soon enough. Similarly, Russia claims that the high-rise in Kiev has been hit by Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile. That’s also just a claim, with no evidence as of yet.
You've been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly. Would you please stop doing that so we don't have to ban you again? It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.
We have to have something objective to go on. Someone else disagreeing with your view is not evidence that they're a bot. The vast majority, in my experience, are simply people with different backgrounds disagreeing with each other for what must in the end be similar reasons.
Users are much too quick to assume that someone they don't like on the internet is a bot, spy, shill, astroturfer, foreign agent, you name it. This is pretty much the most common thing people throw at each other in online arguments. That's why we don't allow it here—see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. If you or anyone thinks they have evidence of abuse, they should send it to hn@ycombinator.com so we can look into it. Plenty of past explanation is at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... For example, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27398725 is one in-depth post on the topic.
Btw, pointing a finger at others isn't a great way to respond when asked to stop breaking the site guidelines. I know that emotions are running high, but that applies to everyone, and unless I'm mistaken you have a history of breaking the site guidelines here and being banned for it, and that tends to lead to getting banned again unless you take conscious steps to fix it.
And in case it helps at all, none of that means that I don't feel for your situation.
