Which of the wars listed there didn't happen and is propaganda bullshit?

But there are some things that could be called propaganda. For example, it lists "Second Muscovite–Lithuanian War" as pure Muscovite victory, but it wasn't from the perspective of Livonian Confederation - Latvian, Estonian and Baltic German united force beated them at Smolinasee (1502, around 5K strong Livonian force beated 90K Russian - Tatar united force) and had peace for next ~50 years thanks to that.

Most of the Latvian history for the last 1000 years involves fighting to not be conquered by Russians. And same is for most other neighbouring nations.
