    Wow, who could have ever seen that coming. What’s surprising is that it’s being reported… must be a desperate effort to call people to action to support their nation?

      isn’t MoscowTimes an exiled and banned opposition-paper?

        I don’t think so. Wikipedia doesn’t say anything about it being an exiled paper, just that it moves it’s headquarters because of the Russian laws on reporting.

          As a result of legislation on “fake news” passed by the Russian parliament in March 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, The Moscow Times has relocated its journalists abroad and opened a temporary newsroom in Yerevan, Armenia. In addition, we have taken a series of steps to protect our staff. Until safe to do otherwise, some articles may appear without bylines or, at the discretion of editors, under a pseudonym.

          they may be “controlled opposition”, but i’m going to give them the Benefit of the Doubt
