Nigel Farage doubles down on claim that West 'provoked' Putin

How would you deal with President Putin? Well, we've, we've tried, of course, through sanctions to weaken him. But all that's actually done is drive him into the arms of China. He needs to know there's a threat now. He needs to know. He does need to know it so far and no further. I think the West historically, up until a few years ago, provoked Putin stupidly. I felt the ever, ever eastward expansion of NATO and the European Union was giving Putin a reason to go to war. I guess the question is what do we do now? And yes, I do support us giving munitions and help to Ukraine, but I feel the war is a complete stalemate. The number of lives being lost is horrific. There have been no sensible, substantive negotiations of any kind. And even if negotiations to try and find a peace to try and find a way through failed, I think it's better to have those negotiations than not.
