I've been unable to find a primary source confirming this information or providing technical details on the significance or consequences of the decision.

Every article I've seen parrots the same language and they all point back to this same article[1] as the source of the information, but the article itself provides no proof whatsoever or explanation.

This smells like propaganda. And it seems to be quite effective here. Before going for each other's throats on this maybe it would be better if we verified the facts.

Russia aggressively chases the agi-prop. Ironically, they outsourced a lot of the online presence efforts to Ukraine and Eastern Europe pre-2014; this is why Ukraine has a strong online propaganda presence, and is bolstered by NATO efforts.

Both sides have a lot to say about F-16s and it's both sides' interest to flog various angles to death.

I suspect you won't see real appraisals of the impact for a while yet, and maybe only after the war ends.
