I don't think those two pictures are 1rst degree.
I think it is somewhat accurate depiction of how in the west the ukrainian army is considered heroic and supported like the avengers that are fierce freedom fighters. And that at the same time in Russia they describe their army like it's a just some peaceful old man that is friend with animals and nature and that no-one should worry about because they are not at war.
Not every conflict will be 2 different symetric narrative. In 1980 when Irak invaded Iran, the Iraki where minimizing their losses to try and look strong and decisive, while in Iran they where exagerating their losses so that people would emphasize with them being attacked. Millions of dead humans.
