It sounds even sillier when you couple it with the rest of the propaganda about how all the soldiers were confused, tired, scared, thinking they were on an exercise etc.
If anything, I'd say it's actually the Russians that produce false flag propaganda, aiming to get the western countries complacent about how they "weak" they are, and to get them to send otherwise useless weapons and equipment to Ukraine. The actual goal - quietly bite off Donetsk and Lugansk, while creating a Somalia-style situation in the eastern part of the country, so that the Ukrainian armed forces will be too busy fighting local marauders, and unable to retaliate.
To that effect, both sides are now also filling up the region with mercenaries, mostly of Middle-Eastern origin - people whose job will be to turn it into a permanent PVP zone, in turn preventing the goal of NATO - putting its nukes all over the place. In short, Russia takes Ukraine, NATO takes a walk.
