Readers of the British newspaper Daily Express have criticised an article about the incident in the Kerch Strait involving a Ukrainian warship
In the opinion of the author of the article, Russian President Vladimir Putin used this situation to “start a countdown to war”. Such an opinion angered readers.
“Another sensationalist DE article, hardly worth reading!” – wrote treadwell42.
“More rubbish, how about a balanced analysis on a serious topic?” – another reader indignantly wrote.
“Another false message from the media, it’s so predictable now,” noted magsmoo.
The general consensus among commentators was that Russia would not show aggression.
“Putin is a lawyer. He will not violate international law, he will wait until the Ukrainians do and then retaliate,” believes one user.
“If war breaks out, I will sue DE for provoking it,” promised Fastjet1.
