THE 2021 film Operation Mincemeat begins with the narrator saying: ‘In war, truth is protected by a bodyguard of lies’. The same is true of the war in Ukraine. While we know the truth about the gangster state that is Russia and its malevolent dictator who has ordered the murder of more than a dozen people on British soil, supervises state terror and torture at home and initiated an illegal and bloody war, we are not being told the whole truth about Ukraine. It is not the freedom-loving democracy its propagandists claim.
