NIGEL Farage drew criticism after suggesting the West had “provoked” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through eastward expansion of NATO and the EU.
He told the BBC the war was “of course” Putin’s fault, but added the expansion had given the Russian president “a reason to tell his people ‘they’re coming for us again’”.
Former NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson told LBC: “That is total nonsense, and sort of typical of the far-right, of which Farage is part, cuddling up to the Kremlin with their propaganda.”
