The inews article does quote that paragraph, but it does not say whether the Russian media who praise Farage mentioned it. I’m going to guess not.
Aside: Farage is so full of shit it’s amazing he manages to sit down without it dribbling out of his mouth… “[Here’s why Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is the fault of Western ‘liberals’…] I have never sought to justify Putin’s invasion in any way and I’m not now.” Sadly, his open contempt for the intelligence of his supporters seems to be entirely justified.
We urgently need proportional representation.
