    I previously posted a long article about this from Der Spiegel in the Ukraine topic.

    It seems to be much the same information, and yet, the other article isn't acknowledged.

    At the end of this article there is this bit:

    In May, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, together with public broadcasters NDR and WDR, identified a Ukrainian soldier thought to have been involved along with the company in Warsaw through with the chartering of the Andromeda was paid for. Because of the complexity of the reporting and the wall of silence from officials, ARD, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and DIE ZEIT decided to join forces to continue reporting on the story. They were joined by journalists from Expressen (Sweden), NOS / Nieuwsuur (Netherlands), Intelligence Online (France), FrontStory (Poland) and Delfi (Estonia).

    So, I guess this is all getting investigated by multiple reporters?

        Well, it's a different story with a somewhat different take on things but I'd have to go through it more carefully to understand the differences.

        (I meant that the article doesn't talk about what the competing journalists found.)

      Do label this off-topic but it seems like a weekly "megathread" about Ukraine isn't really needed anymore. 4 comments were made in the thread you linked to - nothing is really "mega" about that...

      Not surprising your post didn't get seen when those threads are that low on traffic

        Most weeks it will be like that. Then suddenly something completely crazy happens, and it gets dozens of comments.

          Do the crazy things not get their own posts? Do we need to lock the big, crazy stuff into a generic post that won't get as much traffic?

            Part of the point of the megathreads is to avoid the crazy things getting dozens of different posts, drowning out everything else on the front page.

              Okay but they also limit discussion of the topic at hand. When the topic at hand isn't generating a ton of posts, there is no reason to force the posts into the megathreads. I think they still have value for general discussion of the war, but don't need to contain everything.

          I still don't think that means it warrants megathreads anymore. Most weeks is still single digit comments. Minor news are one thing and are unlikely to get much, if any, votes anyway. As /u/updawg...

          I still don't think that means it warrants megathreads anymore. Most weeks is still single digit comments.

          Minor news are one thing and are unlikely to get much, if any, votes anyway. As /u/updawg says, big news get their own threads too - and those threads see a lot more traffic than whatever corresponding weekly thread does.

          Idk, I just don't think Tildes is big enough to warrant megathreads. Even if it got 50 or 100 comments, that still isn't really "mega" in any way, in my opinion
