Nigel Farage Faces Backlash Over Claims NATO Provoked Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, Calls for Peace Talks
Jun 24, 2024, 11:30 AM
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has sparked significant controversy by claiming that NATO and the West provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Farage's comments have been met with widespread criticism from various political figures and media outlets. Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister, labeled Farage's remarks as 'Kremlin propaganda' and 'morally repugnant.' In response, Farage accused Johnson of hypocrisy, citing a 2016 headline where Johnson blamed the EU for the war in Ukraine. Farage's stance has also been condemned by current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, and former NATO Secretary General George Robertson, who dismissed Farage's claims as 'total nonsense.' Ben Habib, a member of the Reform Party, defended Farage, while HamishDBG criticized him. Despite the backlash, Farage continues to advocate for peace negotiations with Russia, arguing that the war has reached a stalemate and that the death toll is appalling.
