00:00Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, recently claimed that NATO and EU expansion provoked
00:09Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He suggested the West's actions were akin to poking the
00:15Russian bear with a stick. Now, Farage admitted to previously underestimating Vladimir Putin's
00:21willingness to invade, which he now acknowledges was a mistake. These comments could harm Reform
00:27UK's electoral popularity. By appearing to sympathise with Putin, Farage risks alienating
00:35voters who support Ukraine and view Russia's actions as unjustifiable aggression. This stance
00:42could reinforce perceptions of extremism within Reform UK, potentially limiting its appeal
00:49to moderate voters and those on the fence. Farage's alignment with a figure as controversial
00:56as Putin may hinder his party's efforts to gain broader support in upcoming elections.
