It is highly possible I’m being a tad too purist with respect to news sources, but it seems to me that driving traffic to The Independent via a Ukraine focused sub is rather perverse.
The Independent is owned by Evgeny Lebedev. His father, Alexander, from whom he derived his wealth, is a former KGB/SVR officer who is now a Russian oligarch.

It just doesn’t matter until it affects Russian decision makers.
