To be fair, Russia's Sputnik was an early propagator of attacks on Hunter Biden's work in Ukraine. Just as Russian propaganda media was an early propagator of the "Ukraine meddling" disinformation campaign, way before it showed up in impeachment. (See ⤵️)
If you want the actual facts about Biden & Ukraine, NOT Russia-propagated disinformation pushed by Republicans, here's a good THREAD from @wiczipedia.

@wiczipedia Here's my favorite reminder from @EuromaidanPress about how Russian propaganda uses conspiracy theories to create a fog of information war—confusing, overwhelming & exhausting. Trump & Republicans are doing the same to sow just enough doubt to hurt Biden.
