Honestly not surprising - the Russian war against Ukraine has demonstrated how hollow Russia is, and the brain drain has been constant. Russia has proven incompetent at space, especially when it comes to telling the truth.
That is all true and I'm not claiming to understand the cause here of the mission failure, I do want to add to the conversation that failure rates on space missions are high for all nations historically.
We've gotten better at it but it's never reliable throwing things into the cosmos!
