Nigel Farage claimed that the West provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, attributing it to the EU and NATO expansions. He stated, 'We provoked this war,' adding that Putin used their actions as an excuse, and mentioned, 'I predicted this... I stood up in the European Parliament in 2014 and said, there will be a war in Ukraine.'
Farage's incendiary comments came in a high-profile TV interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson, where he was questioned on his previous admiration for Putin. His party faced controversy over appeasing Hitler, which led to the postponement of a Panorama special featuring him.
