      Which actually makes me wonder: What do you mean with “source”? The Kyiv Independent doesn’t exactly have a track record of being uncritical of Zelensky, are you surprised that the journalists are not challenging his assessment? That they might, *gasp*, agree with him?

        I read that comment as meaning that Russia is not a reliable source as they go on to say that “he (Zelensky) shouldn’t worry about it”.

        The sentence places “the source” and “he” at opposition.
