I don’t know but I can tell you that in my experience navigating the Russian information space (posting to my English language Telegram channel throughout this operation, and getting quickly embarrassed any time something was unreliable) that a video posted by that channel traceable to Russian news is very likely to be reliable, not unreliable.

Tellingly, Russian news is much more accurate than Russians estimate it to be. (Russians are astonished when my story of problems in America matches what they have heard — they assume it’s just propaganda.) The skepticism of the people puts pressure on the media to get it right. Especially with something like this issue, they can’t afford to lose credibility.
