Because russian state TV is a legit source of Putin speeches?

Surely someone records this and translates it for western eyes. Do you have a source link or are we just playing Chinese whispers?

Erm, you can directly check tass.com if you like. They even have a english version.

Or really any other russian source. Russian militar blogger telegram channels, etc.

(It is a good habit btw. to always also have a look at the opposing side of view)

If you put it into Google, you will find exactly that from multiple sources.

I do not know which accounts or news agencies you find reputable, so I do not know which one to link so you trust it. But you yourself should know which journals or accounts you trust.

Not him, but for the last two years, I aggressively unfollowed all sources that posted wrong or premature information. I kept only those who limited themselves to what was confirmed and openly admitted error in case of mistake.

It is doable. With that strategy, I get more cautious news, not the hottest of the hot stuff, but I am pretty sure thing is happening now.
