  • Huh, does this RBC Ukraine publication have any connection to RBC.ru? My disinformation senses are starting to tingle (although it seems like basically all the factual claims they're making have been backed up by other reporting).

    e; turns out they broke away over a decade ago and had to fight their former owners in court, so they seem pretty independent of RBC .ru

      • Founded in 2006 as a division of the Russian media holding RBC Group (abbreviation for "RosBusinessConsulting"), but in 2010, the agency "RBC-Ukraine" left the composition of the Russian holding, and in 2015, it completely came under the control of Ukrainian media businessman Yosyp Pintus. On January 29, 2016, the Russian holding "RBC" tried to challenge the use of the "RBC" brand in court, but lost the case

        Good to know, thank you! Relatedly, I feel like a dummy for not thinking to check Wikipedia first
