This isn‘t surprising. Lots of right wing “alternative” media types, plus some mainstream ones, have been pushing Russian propaganda talking points since Putin invaded, 
Repetition, in and of itself, is a form of propaganda. Especially if a person is too intellectually lazy to seek out contrary opinions. If people hear night after night from their favorite talking head the Ukrainian war effort can never succeed, many people will start to to believe it simply because of the level of input. And most right-wing media conditions their audience to only turn to them as source.
