The Soviet newspaper Pravda issued corrections too. I wouldn't trust it more than the New York Times.

They didn't retract their Pulitzer for Russiagate. They never retracted their stories about Iraq having WMDs in 2003 either. Their excuse is coached language, like the 50 intelligence agencies who signed a letter saying the NYPost Hunter Biden Laptop story had "all the hallmarks of Russian Disinformation", Saddam had all the hallmarks of having WMDs so there's no need to retract.
