Farage changes tune after receiving severe criticism from UK leaders
In the interview, Farage had commented that Putin was forced to go into War against West-backed Ukraine, by drawing a correlation between the rapid NATO and European Union expansion in various regions around Russia in recent times. However, he appears to have quickly doubled down on these statements by fine-changing his tune after Labour leader Sir Keir strictly criticized these remarks. According to Sir Keir, these remarks were 'disgraceful' while Rishi Sunak said that Farage's recent comments were somehow an appeasement of the Russian President.
