Your so-called flamebait has some very interesting content.
> British foreign secretary Liz Truss...sat down for talks with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. When Lavrov, in response to Truss’s demands that Russia withdraw troops from its territory bordering Ukraine, asked if she recognized Russia’s sovereignty over the Rostov and Voronezh regions, Truss replied that the UK would "never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions" — prompting a more informed diplomat to jump in and explain to her those were Russian regions.
If your highest-ranked diplomats are conducting negotiations at Geographically Challenged Schoolchild level, maybe suggesting that you're part of the problem shouldn't be called flamebait and propaganda. This was yet another reveal to Lavrov that the British public is wildly uniformed about Russia, all the way to the top.
Ukraine may be an innocent victim of this stupidity. That doesn't excuse it in any way.
