TASS is a news agency, like Reuters or AP, not a newspaper.
While it's significant, it's also propaganda. At the very least, WP has a policy to maintain a neutral point of view and to only put things on the site which can be reliably sourced.
We should be sensitive to the power of a site like this in relaying harmful propaganda.
