Two weeks after the following Ukrainian sources all reported the same.

Ukraine's intelligence warns of Russian biological terrorism in Kherson region News Ukraine, RBC, 23 June 2026.
The early reports were all from highly biased sources, so I imagine The Post would do an investigation. Didn’t they get burned on something initially from pro-Ukie sources a little while back? (I could be thinking of some other US’ news org.)
In any event, “hopping” does not necessarily imply a rush to make such an action, nor did I intend such a meaning. (You need to observe some rabbits leisurely moving around a yard, sometimes hopping, as I’ve seen often.) I was merely noting that The Post had picked up on the story. Many major Euro news sources did so about the same time as The Post. If I’d intended to convey alacrity, I’d have said “they hopped right on it.” or “they hopped on that, quickly.”
Now, if you have a useful comment to make on the story itself, please proceed.
