That's the thing. It's 2022, not 1991.
We've got enough commercial satellites flying overhead that for example:
1.) We can get 1980s Cold War equivalent Spy Sat Imagery of a Russian Airfield a few days after a claimed Ukrainian Drone Attack. Results: Huge scorch marks near the airfield, and no airplanes (i.e. Tu-22M3s) of importance on the airfield, or aircraft wrecks -- indicating a failed attack.
2.) We can get overhead sat imagery of the Crimean Kerch Bridge a few days after the attack.

But yes, Ukraine has done a better job of managing social media Information Operations -- casualties in Ukraine are high -- at least 15,000~ dead or so - maybe higher -- but it gets lost in the noise of Russian casualties.
