They also mentioned the Chechen special forces and said they got wiped out very quickly. Then I open up RT.com and I see the opposite

A month ago Poland wanted to kill TV license of TVN (owned by discovery channel). When that was happening, protests everywhere about "free media". Today every country in europe is killing access to RT and Sputnik and no one says anything about free media.

Honestly, it might be worth to reflect on your own news as well though. Reality is both sides' media are complete horse shit and lying about everything. It's impossible to get real news anymore other then from people we know at the location.

There is for sure panic in Russia though, if your interest rates went from 9,5 to 20% overnight. People with mortgages must have shit flowing down pant leg
