Nigel Farage, chairman of the UK Reform party, said he would not change his mind because of the extensive criticism that it was NATO and the European Union, with their interventionist policies to the east, that forced Russia to launch a special operation.
According to Nigel Farage, the military conflict in Eastern Europe has no easy solution. The British politician emphasised that the beginning of the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis should be the “recognition of the truth about the causes and consequences”.
“The West’s mistakes in Ukraine have been catastrophic. I will not apologise for telling the truth. Until we admit we are wrong, we will never have lasting peace. <…> That’s why I just want to tell it like it is and have been doing so for ten years. Those detractors who claim that if I tell the truth, it makes me ‘Putin’s mouthpiece’ only expose the weakness of their arguments,” Nigel Farage said in an article for The Telegraph.
Earlier, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, Alexei Pushkov, said that the leader of the UK Reform party, Nigel Farage, who said that NATO and the European Union were responsible for the start of the conflict in Eastern Europe, was not another “noob from the gang of grey Euro-Atlanticists”, but an independent politician.
