    Is Pravda a good informative source? This website says they have mixed factuality.

    That being said, Russian government can eat my ass. They are so fucking delusional, I can feel their society is closer to collapse and hopefully their leadership all die slow painful deaths.

      Totally reasonable concern, fuck Russia but Pravda does have a bit of a vested interest in their reporting to say the least. In this case they’re just actually reporting what was said on a Russian propaganda outlet. Disclaimer, I know zero Russian, but a Google translate of the Russian propaganda news networks seems to confirm that Pravda is being factual and this is what Russia is saying.

        Very good news ! if that trend goes on it will be such a relief !
        Like you wrote, here the Ukrainian Pravda refers to the original which is an official Russian source : TASS original in Russian

        Does someone here read Russian so to confirm 🙏 ?

      My understanding, and I am nothing like an expert in Russian media so salt to taste, is that Pravda is at least government affiliated, so they have a checkered history with respect to the truth but can be assumed to accurately report what it is that the government wants to project.
