You have the timeline wrong. Russia had decided to invade Ukraine long before they had their impossible ultimatum ( for NATO and Ukraine to promise Ukraine will never join) rejected.

The Russian government lies about everything. They lied about Crimea, Donbas, MH17 and a ton of other things. They have assasinated dissidents, journalists alongside former spies. Anything coming out of Moscow should be treated as flat out wrong, or at most indicative of what they want to do ( they're claiming Ukraine has chemical weapons? They're probably going to use chemical weapons on Ukrainian civilians).

They even deny invading Ukraine. We can't really discuss anything with them when they're living in a parallel reality.

You do not need to convince me. I know it.

As for journalists I've already said that Russia stinks when it comes to treatment of its own populace.
