    The story is identical to the one on reuters.com. There is no propagandistic phrasing of things, the article states what different parties claim, and refers to the French foreign ministry, which makes it undoubtably relevant. I don’t know how that can be possibly misconstrued as biased or factually shakey.

    So thank you for eurofied mccarthyism. Really doesn’t make it any easier to navigate around Russian propaganda when you pollute the information ecosystem. And also voids your reasonable criticism of Telegram and Durov BTW.

      If I’m a eurofied mccarthyist, I guess that makes you a tankie then? Not that either is true.

      You are way too insulting and aggressive to have a discussion with.
