      Before you blindly trust this piece, just a word of warning: Wion is a subsidiary of Zee Media Corporation Limited. ZMCL, which is owned by Essel Group is one of the many godi companies that suck to the proto-fascist Modi government. They have broadcasted fake news before and have been caught red handed multiple times, it’s right on their Wikipedia page. Perhaps in this context, they’re going hard anti-west for the Ukraine slander instead of demonizing Muslims.
