The US News article is based on a Russian government press release cited by the Russian owned RIA information agency.
All-Russian sourcing.
So in what way is this Ukraine propaganda?
You'll find he and some of his ping listers care very little about truth and fact and are just trolls / disrupters on the forum across a host of topics, not just related to this...things not even related to Ukraine are "Ukraine propaganda" - and as you point out, even things entirely Russian sourced are called Ukraine propaganda. Meanwhile, the same crowd will post things entirely sourced from government propaganda and that is regarded as impartial and beyond reproach.
Articles about them holding a diplomatic summit with terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad he also pinged to saying it was comical / hilarious that should be of concern to anyone. He apparently finds terrorism to be a knee slapper.

It does seem to be a new obsession with the OP.
aMorePerfectUnion actually does a very good job of getting the word out about whatever Russian news gets posted here.
Even if it’s criticism he and his friends post it’s still a bump and it keeps the news at the top of the Activity list.
Ironically, even though he pretends to be critical he’s our #1 supporter and I appreciate his efforts.
