“If it were not for Mr. Kiryeyev, most likely Kyiv would have been taken,” the general said.

He used his Russian connections to save Kyiv. He wanted to negotiate an early end to the war. Then the SBU summarily executed him claiming he was a Russian spy.

Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

It doesn't matter what language you try to couch it in, "state funded", "editorial independence", whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

mediabiasfactcheck, the site that squashes two complex spectrums (left vs right, unbiased vs biased) into a one dimensional line, making no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

"Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good."

I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

No, we know it's bad because it's literally run by the US government.

Putin isn’t a Nazi, Prigozhen is.

And even if it was Nazi vs Nazi, you shouldn’t be rooting for either side.

Why are you rooting for the Nazi private military?

Generally aligning stuff isn’t nice. But if you do, it’s tabs up to whatever level of indentation you’re at then spaces the rest of the way. So you wouldn’t have to assume a tab size. And the tabs and spaces have different semantic meaning (indent vs alignment) so mixing them makes sense. It's even built into Jetbrains IDEs, where it's called "Smart Tabs".

Although really just adding a level of indent is better than aligning.
