If this is true, then who is generating the propaganda? Who does it benefit?

The fact that somebody could be so ignorant to even ask such a question is absolutely stunning.

It might be ignorant, but I certainly don't get the impression at all that things are going well in Ukraine despite being exposed to this propaganda, nor do I see how it benefits NATO for its citizens to believe so. It seems to me that believing Russia is weak would make people value NATO less.

But thanks for stopping by to insult me for asking a question, really love that attitude.

You don't get this impression because you're clueless regarding the subject you're opining on. Here is a policy paper you can read to educate yourself https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR3000/RR3063/RAND_RR3063.pdf

And here I am discussing, trying to not disregard ideas I am cynical of, and instead ask questions to gain understanding. Apparently that is discouraged here.

Thank you for the resource, next time lead with that and skip the insults.

The NATO bloc is generating it because it benefits them to make their own citizens think the war in Ukraine is going spectacularly well. It's for morale.
