This isn't balanced or independent news: it's just more pro-Russian trolling. The usual Russian approach, as typified here, is to attempt to spread confusion by promulgating an endless torrent of lies so that simple-minded people (who, alas, are always in a majority everywhere) become confused by the conflicting narratives and give up attempting to understand what's really going on. This works nearly all the time, so of course we see the tactic repeated endlessly, just as is the case here. Next week we'll doubtless learn from this "balanced" source that Zelensky is really a member of the Lizard People and runs a pedophile ring out of a Kyiv pizza parlour.
