There are three Quasi reporters, Michael Schwirtz, Valerie Hopkins and Carlotta Gall, on the story, "Ukraine Counterattacks," which they put as much flesh on as is available. My favorite part of their article is the way they write about Putin. They start out tame:

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia falsely accused Ukraine of seeking weapons of mass destruction and asserted that what he called an “economic blitzkrieg” by the West, aimed at destroying Russia, had failed.
...

Putin also sneered at Russians who oppose the war, saying the Russian people could distinguish “true patriots from the scum and the traitors, and just to spit them out like a midge that accidentally flew into their mouths.” 

Whoa! Poot-Poot, you astonish me! Such picturesque speech! That was tremendous.

...he once again falsely described the government in Kyiv, led by a Jewish president and prime minister, as being “pro-Nazi” and on its way to acquiring nuclear weapons. “Their aim, of course, would have been Russia,” he said.

The reporters have had it up to HERE with the round-headed midget.

And then he went deeper into unreality, 😂accusing the government in Kyiv of disregard for the suffering of the Ukrainian people that his own forces were bombing every day.

“The fact that people are dying, that hundreds of thousands, millions have become refugees, that there is a real humanitarian catastrophe in cities held by neo-Nazis and armed criminals,” he said. “They’re indifferent.”

 Ukrainian and Russian negotiators held a third consecutive day of talks on a possible settlement to the conflict, and in typical fashion, the Kremlin left a muddy picture of its intentions. Putin’s bellicose, often false statements, larded with World War II references, clashed with more conciliatory comments from his underlings.

 Well done Michael and Valerie and Carlotta! Stay safe!
