Sorry, I'm new here. Isn't Radio Sputnik Russian state media? Which could be considered propaganda, which would break rule 3?

Also, is this some of the "tankie" content that lemmy opponents have been citing? I know this is lemmy.ml and that this may be the type of content they want here, so I hope I'm not offending anyone.

Yes.

This isn't news, it's propaganda, and is misleading to say the least. And the person that posted it is new to Lemmy with a 5 day old account. Probably just a troll.

Uh...there are a lot of people with 5 day old Lemmy accounts, there was literally just a mass influx. Probably the majority of users came here within the last 5 days lol. Your account is one week old. Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

Yup. Me included.

But that doesn't address my point in responding to the question which was wondering about tankies and had the implication this may have come from an established tankie poster on that instance.

Your account is one week old.

Exactly.

Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

Exactly. Hence my remark.
