—“Last month, Ukraine’s parliamentarians voted to give themselves a 70% salary increase. “
Do you have a not Russian source for this line?
NOT THE RUSSIAN LINKS IN THE ARTICLE.
This should be big news.
Yeah I followed the only and the only source for this is a Russian site.
The specific site linked by Gray Zone is Obozrevatel, which is a Ukrainian news publication.
Their specific reporting on the pay raise initially can be read here (just do a machine translation to English).
As for why it's not being reported on by other countries...why would it be "big news"? Politicians voting to give themselves more money isn't exactly 'newsworthy'. Would you expect the Guardian, RT, or Der Spiegel to report on the times the US Congress votes to give themselves more money?
