Nigel Farage has said the West "provoked" Russia's invasion of Ukraine by expanding the European Union and Nato military alliance eastwards.
But he added that the expansion of the EU and Nato gave him a "reason" to tell the Russian people "they're coming for us again".
In an interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson, Mr Farage was challenged over his judgement and past statements, including when he named Russian President Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired in 2014.
"I said I disliked him as a person, but admired him as a political operator because he's managed to take control of running Russia," Mr Farage said

Foolish comments. They are wrong on the facts and do nothing to help get Farage elected.
Indeed, if Farage wants to get elected, he should actively suck-up to Biden, the WEF, the US MIC, globalist banks and issue constant anti-Russian propaganda.
It works - just look at leadership in the EU and USA!
He’s gone full WEF?
This statement is sucking up to those people.
Wars are caused by unprotected wealth. Douglas MacArthur
oh no, he’s going to upset the globohomos by saying that because words do hurt...
Putin didn’t need a reason to invade Ukraine. He was going to do it sooner or later.
Come on...we were deliberately pushing the bear for years hoping Putin would attack Ukraine...people in the west (NeoCons) wanted this war...just like they want war with Iran.
Actually the WEF believes the opposite.
Correct, and that’s why the other side screams when it is said.
I guess NATO expansion didn't happen.
Wise comments, he’s completely right on the facts
He was provoked.
You've got to be nice and respectful to your enemies while they're actively trying to destroy you. Always be polite with a nice garden party decorum, that's the ticket!
Zeepers which consist of trans men, trans women and trans children hardest hit.
Farage is kinda right. It doesn’t matter if NATO was actually provocative. What matters is if Russia *perceives* NATO to be provocative. It’s like a game of poker. It doesn’t matter what’s going on. What matters is what players think is going on.
On the other hand, Putin overreacted, and started a bloody war. That makes him a war criminal.
No good guys here. Hopefully, Trump 2.0 can sort this all out and end the war.
lol!
I think you’re confusing Putin with The Biden.
