It’s not a bias. It’s a transaction. Tens of millions of Ukrainian lives and the remnants of American respectability in exchange for an increase in the private fortunes of a few people.
President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Thursday defended President Trump’s special envoy against accusations of pro-Kremlin bias.
Putin Defends Witkoff Against Accusations of Pro-Russia Bias
The Russian leader called the U.S. special envoy “an intelligent man” who is properly representing his country in peace negotiations.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

How are all those Labour politicians cheering for it?
They were literally whipped to vote for it and then the Prime Minister suspended those who didn't.
They really are totally devoid of any moral principle.
They respond to one thing - and that's political pressure.
