Steal this for your own video

[Country/group] didn't '[official narrative]' — [what actually happened according to the speaker].

  • — Ukraine didn't 'lose those soldiers in combat' — Russia executed them as prisoners.
  • — That athlete didn't 'retire early' — the league blacklisted him for speaking out.
