Intentional or not, replacing supposed Russian propaganda with unreferenced propaganda which from tone takes a vehement anti-Russian view, will be challenged, and removed.

Original research

Hi. Please read over one of wikipedias core policies, WP:OR. Basically what this policy means is that every single thing you add to an article must be directly from a reliable source. You can't just change words around and add things or remove things based on your own personal knowledge and point of view. Doing so will end up in lots of hard work going to waste due to being reverted. Also look over WP:NPOV. It's very important to keep these core policies in mind when making edits. For example, adding things like "Russian propaganda insists that the region suffered heavy shelling", or changing the word "accounts" to "rumors" in contrast to what the source says is not acceptable by any means.
