It's almost as if they don't want us to know the truth about Ukraine
I've said several times in these pages that both Russia and Ukraine are far from blameless in the current war. Both sides have been duplicitous, dishonest, and downright criminal in their behavior, and both nations are ruled by utterly corrupt individuals and organizations.
