The source is the FSB. The article simply quotes the FSB claim citing the FSB as the source.
Are you saying you want a source that isn’t the FSB?
Or are you saying you think RT is lying that the FSB said this?
I'd prefer a source that isn't the FSB tbh lol.
Well you are shit out luck because they are the ones doing the investigation on terror attacks in Russia.
Is there a reason to believe the FSB more than any US security agency? They definitely have incentive to lie about it.
It's also possible that they just received a lot of money from different sources and one of them was from Ukraine
I understand this, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna take the information an intelligence agency of a country is saying at face value.
Very comedic.
Idk I guess I was hoping to put the facts into at least 2 contexts so I could better understand what is going on I guess. I generally don't rely on RT to give me enough information on its own. That would be sorta foolish imo.
Edit: also, yeah the FSB is going to put out the statement they want to put out, idk if they're "lying" or something, but I don't take it as authoritative anymore than I take law enforcement in my own country as authoritative.
Edit 2: also it doesn't really matter cause I'm "just some guy" on the Internet, I don't get to know the truth till 2-5 years after the fact anyway.
Yeah it comes down to the trustworthiness of the FSB here when making the claim and if they are capable of proving it in the future.
RT being the messenger of the claim doesn’t seem here nor there to me. I don’t understand how it were CNN or Al Jazeera or the BBC or whatever would change that calculus so I don’t understand why an alternate source would help here.
