Quality propaganda isn’t screaming in your face, it rather presents something you cannot disagree with, while including the important notes, that, if repeated often enough, stay with you and become the norm. Invasion became “conflict”. Stolen kids by invader are described as “separated”, and so on.

Why does it matter? Because the media will be quoting this statement which slowly but surely will affect the easily impressed and engrave in the minds a thought that Putin has a heart, and that Mrs Trump does a good job reaching it. Meanwhile, Russia kills innocent civilians at scale.

As to this statement - we never hear any actual names of the children released. Who stole them? Who received them? Are those who stole them being prosecuted? Ukraine politely nods, WH gets PR. War continues.

Not that they don’t say the children are back in the Ukrainian side.
