Agreed. Out of curiosity, I did a bit more digging. No major news service is mentioning this story. Plenty of minor ones are. But they all either link to ‘Asia Times’ or to Russian-language sites.
Hmm. I’d make a small wager that this story is rather clever Russian disinformation. I could be totally wrong. (My ex-wife used to mention that often. That’s why she’s my ex-wife.)

I think fake news. Link in article is dead and nothing on other news sources
