This is the best summary I could come up with:


Nigel Farage has urged the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to seek a peace deal with Russia, “otherwise there will be no young men left in Ukraine”.

The Reform UK leader, who has been criticised for suggesting the west provoked Russian aggression against Ukraine, said it was time for Zelenskiy to rethink his goal of reclaiming all territory lost to Vladimir Putin’s invasion, as he believes such a mission is going to be “incredibly difficult”.

Farage made his latest intervention on the Ukraine war while speaking to journalists from the Times and the Daily Mail on a trip to the Channel to highlight the number of small boat crossings.

“War is not about as it were punishing or in some way running over thousands of young men in tanks and blowing them up because one person takes points of view which you disagree with,” Malins told a local hustings in Salisbury on Sunday, before he was booed.

Skripal and his daughter survived the attack but at the end of June 2018 a Wiltshire woman, Dawn Sturgess, and her partner, Charlie Rowley, were poisoned in Amesbury, eight miles north of Salisbury.

“His Majesty’s Daily Mail, who have decided that I am one of the worst people that’s ever been born, not for the first time, just because I got up over 10 years ago and said that I felt the eastward expansion of Nato and the European Union would be used by a dangerous dictator as a reason to go to war.
