Freedom of speech is not absolute and does not give people the right to
spread harmful propaganda.

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/12/18/who-are-the-westerners-sanctioned-by-the-eu-for-spreading-russian-propaganda

There are laws that deal with this and it may be illegal to spread:
- Incitement
- Hate speech
- Foreign influence operations
- Deliberate disinformation

For example, in August 2024 a number of people in the UK were jailed
for inciting violence on social media during the riots against asylum
seekers.

There is a difference between critisising someone and inciting
violence against them.

If you believe the war in Ukraine is a myth, then you are more than
welcome to visit Ukraine and observe for yourself the war crimes that
Russia is committing there on daily basis.
