War in Ukraine: the Dangers of Believing Your Own Propaganda

4 April 2022

The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a catastrophe for Ukraine. Casualty figures at time of writing are in the tens of thousands, nearly four million people have fled to other countries, and over six million more have been internally displaced. It's an outrageous act of military aggression that demands a sharp response. The Russian nuclear arsenal makes a direct military confrontation between NATO allies and Russia unwise, but the countries of the NATO alliance are right to impose the harshest sanctions against Russia, and to generously supply Ukraine with arms and munitions.
