Maybe, but look at this rocket propelled grenade hitting this abandoned Russian tank.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a decree to combine all national television stations into one platform to counteract the spread of misinformation and “tell the truth about the war,” his office announced Sunday. In a press statement, Zelenskyy’s office explained that a “unified information policy in martial law” is a matter of national security.

The world needs Russia. The world doesn't need Ukraine.

Won't find this story on State run media CNN. No way.
Whatever it takes
The Bidens need Ukraine.
Putin Signs Ban On Crypto Payments In Russia
"Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a law Friday prohibiting the use of digital assets as forms of payments in Russia..." reports the tech/policy news site Protocol. The ban on crypto-form payments also apparently applies to NFTs: The new law also includes a provision that requires crypto exchanges and providers refuse transactions in which digital assets could be construed as a form of payment... The new law is set to take effect in 10 days.
There's been some speculation that sanctioned Russian companies or individuals might use crypto to avoid sanctions imposed after the country's invasion of Ukraine. But officials have proven savvy in using on-chain analytics to trace transactions, and industry experts have warned that sanctions evaders would be ill-served by trying to use cryptocurrencies. U.S. and EU bodies have even added specific crypto wallet addresses to sanction lists.

This commentary explains it well.
To keep the fake exchange rate of the ruble up.
This is not the first time. For example, in the USSR, the official exchange rate was something like 1 ruble = 0.5 - 2USD (it went up over time). However, there was no legal way for citizens to exchange rubles for dollars. This exchange rate only applied tor people returning to the USSR from abroad.
However, there was a black market where 1USD was something like 10-20 rubles.
This is being done in Russia right now. Citizens cannot sell rubles and get other currencies, all companies getting paid in foreign currencies have to convert 80% of that to rubles. The result of that is an artificially high exchange rate (1USD = 54rubles), even though people pay something like 100-200rubles for 1 USD in the black market.
People used dollars to pay each other, especially in the black market, they probably do so now as well, but also use cryptocurrencies for that (crypto probably has more value and is more stable than the ruble). Putin wants to stop this, since the law is specifically banning the use of crypto for payments (I assume you can still buy and sell it). I guess this means a lot of people are doing it (and will continue doing it)
I'm all too familiar with this as well, since capital flight controls like this are all too common in holes in South America too.
