    Because that website is named “Moscow times” I checked.

    Despite the name they’re legit, they can’t even operate in Russia anymore, because they’ll be arrested by the Russian government:

    Following the passage of a law restricting coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022, the newspaper moved its main editors to Amsterdam.[1][39] On 15 April, Roskomnadzor blocked access to the Russian-language website of The Moscow Times in Russia after it had published what authorities called a false report on Russian riot police officers refusing to participate in the invasion.[7][8] To make the website available within Russia despite blocks, it registered a range of domain names, sending links to the next current domain to readers via Telegram when one is blocked.[40]

    On 17 March 2023, The Moscow Times said it has been designated a ‘foreign agent’ by Russia’s justice ministry, which accused The Moscow Times of spreading inaccurate information about authorities’ decisions, thereby forming a negative image of Russia. The Moscow Times said that the foreign agent legislation had been "disproportionately used”.[41]

    On July 10, 2024, the Prosecutor General of Russia declared The Moscow Times an undesirable organization.[42] This designation practically bans the Times from operating in Russia, as anyone working for them or interacting with them (such as by agreeing to be interviewed) could potentially be prosecuted and sent to jail.[43]

        I remember some Russian propagandist babbling about bombs over Berlin when Germany send stuff to Ukraine. Dude, I mean…

        1. It’s Berlin. Most Germans hardly would call that a loss.
        2. Yer getting fucked by Ukraine on your own turf. Eat ass and shut up.

    Never have I heard a better reason to waterboard somebody.

    I think it’s very important to note that Telegram was once banned in Russia, then Telegram and Russia reached some sort of an agreement, and Telegram has been allowed in Russia every since.
