    Yeah, Russian state news agency. Very credible source. At least you can learn from this article that Slutsky is a clown. Just like anyone from Russian government.

      Is strange for a Russian news agency to report what a member of their government said?

        No but you should be careful while reading such articles because they are intended to make you believe any nonsense.

      As opposed to Reuters, BBC, CNN and NY Times, all private entities fully aligned with US and NATO foreign policy? Who died and made western media more credible than anyone else’s lmao.

        You can’t compare these news agencies with Russian ones. Russian propaganda is very powerful. More powerful that you can imagine. I suggest you to read independent Russian news sites like Meduza https://meduza.io/en

          The power of your imagination is way more powerful than any Russian propaganda when we’re talking about a news agency like TASS that dryly reports news and quotes, directly equivalent to Reuters and AP. And I can directly compare all the ones I mentioned with Russian and Chinese ones. I can even compare results between the crappy western search engines and yandex on foreign policy topics and you’ll be terminally embarrassed by how much the western algorithms censor and downgrade.

          Pretty disappointing to see NATO shilling coming from disroot but I can’t say I’m surprised unfortunately.

            Well, while TASS has neutral articles but knowing that it is Russian state news agency you should take everything from it with a freight train of salt. I’m Russian, I live in Russia and I witness how this propaganda captured minds of regular people. But unfortunately it also aimed to people from abroad and it seems that it works. And I’m glad that other countries take measurements against it but unfortunately it is still strong. It is so freaking difficult to change people’s minds sometimes it’s feels that it’s easier to physically eliminate the source of the propaganda and I hope that Ukrainian army will soon start to attack Russian TV towers and TV centers (these are formally civilizan objects but I approve such attacks).
