"SNIP........

Russia is firing ageing cruise missiles stripped of their nuclear warheads at Ukrainian targets because Vladimir Putin’s stocks are so depleted, the Guardian reports.

An intelligence update from Britain said the desperate improvisation by the Russian president’s struggling forces are “unlikely to achieve reliable effects.”

5. Well, that's a misleading interpretion in politicalwire.com

Russia is firing ageing cruise missiles stripped of their nuclear warheads at Ukrainian targets because Vladimir Putin’s stocks are so depleted, the Ministry of Defence has suggested.

That's how a bit of speculation that X might be happening becomes a solid statement of fact.

(No, it's not your fault. It's sloppy reporting by politicalwire.com.)
