Anyone willing to amplify propaganda for a terrorist state should be held to account.
RT, Russia Today, where George Galloway frequently appears, isn’t just Russian state TV. They were an integral part of the torture system, including in my own case.

The United States did not start the war in Ukraine. We owe Putin nothing. Giving him concessions now, like recognizing territories he annexed, would make the US look so weak.

What better way to start a day in Brussels where conversations about the effectiveness of sanctions on Russia’s energy sector are likely to feature heavily than walking to the bus stop past the local Lukoil petrol station.

If your main goal is to line your pockets and maintain false narrative, logic goes right out the door.
The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

It is all such a farce. There will be no peace plan. Putin will never agree to one that doesn't give Russia everything, and that will be unacceptable to Ukraine and Europe. Stop this bullshit and give Ukraine what it needs to defeat Russia and end this once and for all.
A U.S. delegation is set to go to Moscow next week for talks on Trump’s “peace plan,” Putin told reporters.

That's all of Ukraine not currently occupied. That would give Russia all of Ukraine.

Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War believe that a Russian victory is not inevitable. The actual pace of the occupying forces’ advance shows that a rapid capture of the entire Donetsk region is unlikely, despite the Kremlin’s claims.
