Your quote is not in the article. Here’s the only instance of the word “Telegram” in the article:
The cross-border flight was presented as an accident by Russian blogger Fighterbomber, who runs a Telegram channel with close links to Russia’s air force.
Unfortunately, The Guardian doesn’t bother to list a single source at all. That’s certainly lazy. I didn’t dig too deep, but the only reference to a source that I could find anywhere with relation to this story was “a high ranking Ukrainian military official”. Not exactly a reliable, unbiased source.
no, he’s absolutely right. Media shouldn’t get their Information from a Telegram Channel (or any social Media for that Matter)
that being said, his Quote is made up. There is yet no clear conformation, only a russian Military Blogger and the vague nodding of the intelligence office of Ukraine, so still take it with a grain of salt.
the Intelligence Office could not give a clear answer because, well, they’re in a fucking fight for their survival, or they could also just do what intelligence offices do (lie and deceive to their own advantage).
apparently we will get a clearer answer from the intelligence Office in a few days, so probably treat it as Fake-News until we get an actual reputationally-binding confirmation from an official source
Western journalism is getting increasingly lazy. Reposting speculation with no evidence to back it up, really?
