Alex Christoforou is a joke.
He writes for Russia News Now and owns The Duran, both of which pure Russian propaganda.
The Duran’s director is Peter Lavelle, the host of RT’s (Russian state news outlet) political debate program CrossTalk.
In 2018, the right-leaning Weekly Standard accused The Duran of peddling Russian “Fake news."
Cyprus-based DRN Media PLC owns the Duran. Moscow native Alex Christoforou is the President and Chairman of DRN Media PLC. Funding for The Duran comes from Paypal and Patreon donations and advertising.

- Overall, we rate The Duran as a Questionable source based on far-right-wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda, right-wing conspiracies, a lack of transparency, use of poor sources, plagiarism, and failed fact checks.

Founded in 2016, The Duran is a strongly right-leaning news and opinion website with ties to Russian state media. Based in Cyprus, the website’s editor is Alexander Mercouris, who in 2012 was disbarred as an attorney in London. According to the Telegraph, he then went on to become a “pro-Russian commentator on world affairs for Russian TV news outlets and websites.”

No doubt.
The sad thing is he's telling more truth than ANY US source.
Unless you have some source you'd like to share.

Putin and his apologists (you included) will not be satisfied until (at a minimum) the Warsaw Pact is reconstituted.
Why do you hate freedom so much?
Anywho - given that the unprovoked Russian invasion is largely about resources and controlling sea lanes - and given the current price of oil and natural gas - I'm putting forth that the democracies of the world would, at this point, be within their right to level Russia and take their natural resources .....er.....ummmmm....protect NATO aligned countries from further Russian encroachment.
You're a hoot brutha'....

A few more months of energy prices where they are or higher and you'll start to see headlines/statements like "Maybe Ukraine Should Just Give Russia the Occupied Territories". Just a matter of time...

It says a lot about you that you'd post crap like that and it's even more pathetic that you think there is a shred of truth to anything he says.
As for my sources, there are many here are some I've been looking at recently.
Institute for the Study of War
This guy is Ukrainian, so he is biased, but his assessments do seem honest.
I've watched a couple of these, they are long, but they do seem to have some good insight.
These guys also have a Ukrainian bias, but they do seem have some good insight.

So, you think Alex Christoforou is a reliable source for info.
Never heard of him till now but likely as reliable as anyone pushing the kleptocracys side in this war.
I already know how corrupt both those countries are so news from anyone is likely as accurate as what youll get from our MSM and govt.
