"That's the dictator": Trump's favorite newspaper New York Post dedicated to Putin's number

The newspaper number was released on February 21 with a large portrait of Vladimir Putin on the forerunner. The article is an author's column in the format of "thought" by Douglas Murray. It published "10 facts about the war of Russia in Ukraine, which the United States ignore at its own risk. " First of all, the author emphasizes that it was Putin who started a great war, despite Trump's accusations towards Ukraine. "Trump is absolutely right that the war" should not begin.

"It would not have begun if he was in an oval office. But the war began Putin, not Zelensky," the article reads. The second fact is that Russia seeks to conquer Ukraine and thus expand its territory. Ukraine did not have territorial ambitions on Russia. Murray emphasizes that Ukraine is fighting for its independence, most Ukrainians do not want to be part of Russia. "They do not want them to be governed from Moscow.

The vast majority wants to live in an independent, sovereign country that controls their future. Ukrainians and Russians are two separate ethnic groups. They speak different languages ​​and have different history," he says he. . The journalist draws attention to Putin's dictatorial inclinations: he rules Russia's "Iron Fist of the KGB" since he came to power in 1999.

"He mercilessly suppressed independent media, put an end to the free and honest elections, defeated civil society and killed political opponents. Not only in Russia, but all over the world. Those who live in Russia and oppose war, find themselves in prisons" , - said in the material. Zelensky does not consider Zelensky a dictator and calls him a politician who won the 2019 free and honest presidential elections.

Unlike Russia, there are active and independent media in Ukraine that call the government to answer. Murray believes that Russia is not a friend of the United States. It is a hostile, nuclear state that has a close relationship with China, Iran and North Korea. In fact, all her main friends are countries that are the greatest enemies of America. "Putin has fallen into several countries by breaking all international treaties. He intervened with his closest neighbors elections.

He violated international agreements, including the RSMD Treaty with the United States," the material reads. At the same time, Ukraine is a friend of the United States and wants to be part of the world order governed by America. It is wrong to say that US assistance to Ukraine "disappears for nothing. " "No one will say that Ukraine is a country without corruption. But that does not mean that its people and sovereignty should not be protected.

We must remember which country in this war is really corrupt. Russia is a huge kleptocratic state headed Putin and a small cartel of the oligarchs, "the newspaper writes. We will remind, the publication of Politico earlier estimated that for the first month of stay in power, the Trump team with its statements and actions played Putin 29 times. The speaker of the House of Congress representatives Mike Johnson said that Ukraine is not planning to allocate a new package of military assistance.
