Again, you’re using a propaganda outlet as your reliability benchmark. For example, there is nothing reliable about Meduza, and the only reason it’s listed is such is because it has vehemently anti Russian bias. If we hold outlets like CNN to the same standard then there is nothing more reliable about them than Sputnik.
The flood of misinformation about the state of the war in Ukraine in pretty much every western media outlet for the past 10 months is a perfect example of just how unreliable these outlets are. Yet, you wouldn’t know that if you went by media bias ratings.
You appear to think that the word reliable means that it fits with your existing bias.
Every organization doing these sorts of reliability checks is politically motivated, and it’s going to have a strong bias.
Sputnik does indeed have a tabloidy bend to it, but sometimes it has actual reporting as well. This is why I keep saying that it’s best to evaluate the information on its own merit rather then perseverating over what rating some org comes up with.
This particular story is credible because it aligns with what we know from lots of other western sources.
