Title: "Germany cautious"
"The New York Times also reported Tuesday that U.S. officials reviewed intelligence that suggested a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the blasts."
'German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he read the news reports “with great interest” but warned against drawing hasty conclusions.'
'“It would not be the first time in the history of such events,” the German minister said. “As such, I’m refraining from drawing premature conclusions.”'
'“The identity of the perpetrators and their motives are the subject of ongoing investigations,” it added. “At present, it is not possible to make any reliable statements on this, in particular on the question of state control.”'
OP insinuated that western media was confidently blaming Russia. Almost nothing in the media or government officials was damning, it was speculation, no one really knew and that's what they reported. The article is AP and citing NYT.
It's wildly tiresome to hear people rail against "mainstream media" because they reported on one government official saying "I think it might be Russia," but when they read Seymour Hersh's substack that puts 10,000 words of just completely made up bs, they're like "wow so good, mainstream news only lies"
