One of the first reactions from the government and Ukraine was that this was all Russian disinformation. Then within a couple of days other media sources weighed in and there was considerable debate, until this guy was identified.

So yes. Many people have hypothesized this was Russian disinformation.

None of that really seems to support this claim:

> "Let's not forget both the media and the government have spent the last couple of weeks on a gaslighting tour telling us the leak was Russian propaganda, etc."

They all call it a leak and specify that parts of it appear doctored, which is also what I said, right? Has any of that changed or been disproven?
