Support for anti-Russian sanctions among British residents has decreased due to rising prices.

Now only 36% of Britons support restrictions against Russia, whereas previously there were 50%.

This is reported by The Sunday Telegraph with reference to a survey by Redfield and Wilton Strategies, conducted on April 13.

The majority of respondents are not ready to pay more for fuel. More than half of the survey participants said that their financial situation has worsened over the past year.

Dear subscribers, I am not collecting money for anything, I am not taking advertisements. However, I have a request. If you are with us on the "Transformator" channel, please send to your English speaking friends and comrades this post https://t.me/TrFormer/397 It is not even about our channel, it has links to all known to us English language channels, presenting alternative to the Western main-stream propaganda. Yes, it is propaganda as well, but thinking people should have a choice and an opportunity to compare to make their own conclusion when all alternative sources are banned from the Western main-stream. You may send it even to Russian or Chinese speaking people, may be they know somebody, who would benefit from it. Thank you in advance.

Following meeting with our subscribers I realised that for some of them, especially those who started following the events in Ukraine just recently, the most fundamental questions are still remaining unanswered. Most of the TG channels are naturally being focused on the latest developments and many important issues are being removed from the focus of the audience.
So I decided to spend some time and to answer those basic and fundamental questions.
Question number 1:
Why did "special military operation"/”war” start?
There is long term prospective to the cause of it. It is the fact that NATO was expanding to the East continuously during more than twenty years. Russia is considering this as an existential threat and has not once expressed its concerns which was ignored by the collective West.
In the medium term prospective it was important that Ukraine has made a course to join NATO its national policy. Even if it was not going to happen in the nearest few years, NATO was already developing its infrastructure in Ukraine, building training, intelligence, communication and logistics centres. Especially important here is to mention a network of biological labs studying bacteriological weapons that certainly have posed a threat not only to Russia.
In the short term prospective Ukraine has proved itself to be not negotiable partner, as the Minsk agreement on the future of the Donbas region was not implemented within 8 years, instead Ukrainian army and nationalistic regiments were continuing shelling not only Donbas militia, but civilian population as well, that resulted in death of about fourteen thousands people. It was documentary confirmed after the hostilities broke out, that Ukrainian army already had orders to attack Donetsk and Luhansk republics, which would have lead to enormous loss of life.
It made the pre-emptive strike from Russia inevitable. (That is a very simplistic explanation, and it is based primarily on my personal understanding, necessary proves of the statements above exist, but would take pages and hours to write/read)
