The Daily's Verdict

Bias
87%
Examples:
- For some reason, the West believes that Russia will never use it. We have a nuclear doctrine, look what it says. If someone’s actions threaten our sovereignty and territorial integrity, we consider it possible for us to use all means at our disposal.
- When they say that there will be more missiles which will hit targets on Russian territory, this definitively destroys Russian-German relations.
Conflicts of Interest

Deceptions
50%
Examples:
- If someone thinks it is possible to supply such weapons to a war zone to attack our territory and create problems for us, why don’t we have the right to supply weapons of the same class to regions of the world where there will be strikes on sensitive facilities of those countries?
