LVIV, Ukraine - Four days after Russia started dropping big guns shells on Kyiv, Misha Katsurin, a Ukrainian restaurateur, was asking why his dad, a congregation caretaker living in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod, hadn't called to mind him.

"There is a conflict, I'm his child, and he simply doesn't call," Mr. Katsurin, who is 33, said in a meeting. Thus, Mr. Katsurin got the telephone and told his dad that Ukraine was enduring an onslaught by Russia.

"I'm attempting to empty my youngsters and my significant other - everything is incredibly terrifying," Mr. Katsurin told him.

He didn't get the reaction he anticipated. His dad, Andrei, didn't trust him.

"No, no, no, no stop," Mr. Katsurin said of his dad's underlying response."He began to let me know how the things in my nation are going," said Mr. Katsurin, who changed over his cafés into volunteer focuses and is briefly remaining close to the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil. "He began to shout at me and told me, 'Look, everything is going this way. They are Nazis.'"

As Ukrainians manage the obliteration of the Russian assaults in their country, many are likewise experiencing a puzzling and practically strange reaction from relatives in Russia, who won't completely accept that that Russian fighters could bomb honest individuals, or even that a conflict is occurring by any means.

These family members have basically gotten tied up with the authority Kremlin position: that President Vladimir V. Putin's military is leading a restricted "exceptional military activity" with the fair mission of "de-Nazifying" Ukraine. Mr Putin has alluded to the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, a local Russian speaker with a Jewish foundation, as a "drug-befuddled Nazi" in his endeavors to legitimize the attack.

Those stories are arising in the midst of a flood of disinformation radiating from the Russian state as the Kremlin drops to clasp down on free news revealing while at the same time forming the messages most Russians are getting.

An expected 11 million individuals in Russia have Ukrainian family members. Numerous Ukrainian residents are ethnic Russians, and those living in the southern and eastern pieces of the nation generally communicate in Russian as their local language.

Russian TV stations don't show the assault of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, and its rural areas, or the overwhelming assaults on Kharkiv, Mariupol, Chernihiv and other Ukrainian urban communities. They likewise don't show the serene obstruction apparent in places like Kherson, a significant city in the south that Russian soldiers caught a few days prior, and surely not the fights against the conflict that have sprung up across Russia.

Rather they center around the Russian military's triumphs, without talking about the setbacks among Russian officers. Many state TV journalists are installed in eastern Ukraine, and not in the urban areas being walloped by rockets and mortars. Late news reports made no notice of the 40-mile-long Russian caravan on a street north of Kyiv.

On Friday, Russia additionally prohibited Facebook and Twitter to attempt to stem uncontrolled data.

This, Mr. Katsurin said, clarifies why his dad told him: "There are Russian troopers there aiding individuals. They give them comfortable garments and food."
