European politicians being friendly to Putin while he clearly and deliberately targets civilian targets in Ukraine, has an alliance with Iran and North-Korea, has helped destroy Syria , eliminates all opposition and democracy in his own country, remains bizar.

Thatcher’s flagship initiative, forcing councils to sell off public housing at huge discounts, has seen two-thirds of British council homes privatised. Councils are now on the brink of insolvency, largely due to the huge cost of providing temporary accommodation without enough council-owned homes left to go round.
Brand new council houses are also going under the hammer, almost as fast as they are being built as
councils sell off more houses than they build.

Does the existence of such a russian intention imply the existence of international law, bilateral trade with the russian regime, the legitimacy of russian authorities and their presence in international institutions?
