Wow. The article's author has no Russian accent whatsoever. (Unless it was translated by an English speaker). Wish I had the same command of English. Somehow I doubt multilingual Ukranian newspapers are that much unaccented in their English. I had no temptation to open the Russian version of the article because the English text was not awkward to read.

It's intended for an English speaking audience.

Yes, but it was certainly written by a Russian and possibly even written in Russian and translated after the fact. Not every journalist from around here I know can write articles in such flawless English that has no traces of a Russian accent. It's a thing I can only envy.

As a native English speaker who's learning Russian, I can certainly relate (Russian is quite difficult for me).
