Err... "Big lie" technique is not about POV. It is about... well... lie. When Russia states that there is no giant army concentrated on our border it is a "Big lie" because everybody can see that army on satelllite photos. When Russia stated that there are no Russian militaries on the streets of Crimea it was a "Big lie" because everybody was able to see specifically Russian armor cars on those streets on photos. "Big lie" is about stating obvious and overwhelming lie and insisting on it hardly untill some people stopped to believe their eyes. Ukrainian powers are unable to use that technique because they don't have the monopoly on the information. For example one evening SBU made a statement that there are 60 hostages and a bomb in captured Lugansk administration building. Next day nearly ALL Ukrainian media checked the statement, and published that it was wrong. And that was all. It was an attempt of lie but it failed.

Ukrainian official media presents only one point of view as well, and EU takes this one-sided POV for gospel, believing those ridiculous tales about "invasion" and "poor oppressed Ukrainian citizens"

Weren't heavily armed militaries attacked police station in my city four blocks from my home an invasion? Am I not oppressed by continuous danger, stopping with great efforts my wife from panic, my moter in law getting heart attack, and my former student taken away from his home in captured Slaviansk by unknown military to nowhere and disappered?

That is fantastic! So, what officials were specifically responsible for distributing the Big Lie? Do we know their names? Were they prosecuted in court? Was any investigation or legal case open against them? Is the public protected in any way from being manipulated that way in the future?
