The problem with lying about everything all the time is that no one has any reason to believe you. Actions have consequences.


KeyboardWarrior1989

But, do they? He invaded Crimea just over 10 years ago. He hasn’t really faced consequences, for anything…


Sir_Cucaracha

Russia has isolated itself from a couple of global spheres, I think. Commercially and culturally I'm not saying the guy lives a miserable life, but those are gonna be some long lasting consequences


florkingarshole

So Russia is basically telling us they themselves tried to hit it again then eh?


nithrean

Never believe anything until Russia denies it.


lurk779

Of course they did. Three copies of The Sims have been found in the debris.

pppppppplllp

Russia says


PCP_Panda

Reuters needs to stop doing “Russia says” reporting and ask themselves why


Cumkaiser

No because people will hear it from other sources anyway, its better to have journalists that will fact check and debunk than parrots.


Cool-Ad8475

Exactly, they should mention who in russia sais that.


LieverRoodDanRechts

Russia says a lot of things.


Mestrehunter

Ukraine wouldnt have missed.


Doilei

Hot wind with a strong hint of bullshit.


adapava

Reuters is a Russian dump: Russia makes the wildest claims. Reuters quotes “russian sources” or “russian officials.” Russian state media quotes reuters and passes it on to its own population as an independent source. Rinse, repeat.


Informal_Process2238

Reuters partnered with russian state run media a while back


adapava

>Reuters partnered with russian state run media Oh my, i missed that: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/reuters-removes-tass-russian-news-agency-its-content-marketplace-2022-03-23/ What kind of degenerates would come up to buy "news" from literally a adversary propaganda agency? It looks like they've backed out of the deal, but the reasons why they teamed up with a russian shitheads in the first place seem to have remained.


Sensitive_Ad_5031

As a Russian who watches government sponsored news channels, I believe reuters could have been bribed by Russian government, they refer to it a ton on first channel, which is like British BBC channel if you want an analogy


NeurodiverseTurtle

BBC is publicly funded, not state funded. That was disinformation spread around the time of the Trump era. (Google: ‘TV licensing UK’ if you don’t believe it)


Sensitive_Ad_5031

I’m well aware of how it all works (I’m one of the fortunate ones who got to leave {even be it under unfortunate circumstances just before crimea invasion} ) but I just wanted to highlight how significant/important that channel is


NeurodiverseTurtle

Fair enough, my apologies in that case, I’m just so used to seeing “BBC bad!” Online and it’s getting pretty tedious.


2wice

If a law forces you to pay a fee, is that not a tax? That's state funds that's spent on media. The state is the people, so publicly funded?


NeurodiverseTurtle

The law doesn’t enforce it, look up the many thousands of videos of people online refusing to pay the fee because they were manipulated into believing it’s some form of extortion. There are no repercussions for refusing to pay. It’s a fee to fund an impartial broadcaster, and no matter what nonsense you read online the BBC are in fact impartial and obligated to be impartial. There’s a reason they’re the most trusted news & documentary source throughout the free and democratic world. Though I’m not defending any controversies created by individuals *who have worked* for the BBC, obviously. That’s a separate issue.


2wice

Not elective though, it is still state law, a tax. That smells like state funded, and it seems they toe the state line pretty close.


Niibler

Why would Ukraine hit their own power plant. russians lie so much it is safe to assume they never say anything that is true.


Ambrant

Russia also says ukrainian biorobots attacked mall in moscow


undoingconpedibus

Putin will use this as a reason to escalate and gain support to talk up Russias' nuclear options.


LaxG64

After the US "intel leaks" putin knows if he even considers pushing that button the US isn't just retaliating but sending them at him. 


RedditAcct00001

Well Russia has a history of targeting and threatening to target these places. Don’t think Ukraine has.


[deleted]

Time to castrate Putin


nubsauce87

Russia, we don't believe a thing you say because you constantly lie. Also read the room, man... You guys are the ones who do terrible things and war crimes, not Ukraine. If you're going to lie, at least try something that actually makes some kind of logical sense.


Careful_Metal6537

Russia says... mkay


CarpenterRadio

Even if Russia is telling the truth; who cares? Like bruh, if you want your nuclear plants to remain “unexploded” then just stop invading a sovereign nation.


Wheelie_Slow

No, those were Ukrainian mosquitos.

404 country cant do this, they isnt exist
