The analysis from these two ambassadors seems completely divorced from the reality of the situation on the ground in Ukraine.

Analysis like this supporting outcomes favorable to Russia depends on distorted historical narratives. When addressing a position means challenging history falsehoods first, there is no point in discussing the position.
