Zero Hedge is a pro-russian site. That article is more pandering than it is reporting. "As many careful and less idealistic observers suspected the whole time...." It offers compliments and confirmation bias with republication, but not a lot more.
They may be right, they may be wrong, but any site that solicits to the suspicious through compliments should be taken with a giant grain of salt.
Especially one wrtten under a pseudonym like "Tyler Durden."
Actually, they were quoting the Washington Post.
