“ The leader of the right-wing populist party Reform UK in Great Britain, Nigel Farage, called the master of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, “a very bad dude” and also supported the use of frozen assets of the Russian Federation for the benefit of Ukraine. Source: The Telegraph, “European Truth” Details: Farage, who has previously said that he admires Putin, is often criticized in Britain for being too soft on Russia, which unleashed a full-scale war against Ukraine. Commenting on this, the politician noted: “It is obvious that Putin is not a rational person. The idea that I am soft on this issue is simply absurd.” Calling Putin a “very bad dude”, Farage also added that he hoped for US President Donald Trump’s ability to influence the Russian ruler. “I was really hoping that Trump would force Putin to give in, that some sort of compromise would be reached, as happened recently with Gaza and Israel. Obviously, that’s not going to happen,” he said. Asked on Thursday what he would do if Russian jets crossed into allied airspace, Farage said: “They have to be shot down.” He said that frozen Russian assets should be used to provide loans to Ukraine “if they were obtained illegally.” Farage added that in the event of a ceasefire, he could support the presence of British troops in Ukraine as part of the UN peacekeeping force, if he becomes prime minister. At the same time, Farage repeated the arguments that “the endless expansion of NATO and the European Union to the east” contributed to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. It will be recalled that in February, Farage stood up for the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, when Donald Trump called him a “dictator”. Later, he said that Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s February meeting with Donald Trump would have gone better if the Ukrainian president had come to the White House in a suit.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
