Headline from Danish public service media: “Putin: If Europe wants war, Russia is ready”. The article goes on to explain that this statement was prefaced by him saying that Russia does not want war.

Does anyone know of an audiobook subscription service that has a wide variety of academic titles (so not Mofibo/Storytel or Libby) and is not made up of Pure Evil (so no Audible/Amazon)?
