And I received a clear answer: yes, there was.” Where this far-fetched allegation becomes interesting is that it is sharply refuted by Boris Johnson, the British prime minister at the time of the implementation of Brexit, and one of the […]

In the Baltic sandbox there is another historic event! The three musketeers of misunderstanding have finally united for a decisive battle with Russian grain!
