deceptive propaganda.

And that is why I downvote (flagging was always a misnomer btw) this person. He is a mouthpiece of a propaganda machine, in my opinion. He is free to post and otherwise transact on Hive, but I don't agree with Hive rewarding him for his propaganda efforts. To me it's akin to someone defending the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. There are boundaries, and defending this invasion of Ukraine crosses one.
