Original Note:
Diesen has been widely described by Scandinavian media & academics as promoting Russian propaganda. RU invading Ukraine to prevent NATO expansion is a Russian story. UA was neutral before 2014 with no interest in joining NATO. Putin invaded in 2014 anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Diesen https://hungarianreview.com/article/20190314_waking_from_the_eurasian_dream/ https://www.tv2.no/nyheter/utenriks/professor-beskyldes-for-a-drive-russisk-propaganda-fra-norsk-universitet/11932156/ https://www.varden.no/nyheter/kritiserer-usn-professor-som-skriver-for-russernes-propagandakanal/ https://www.forsvarsforeningen.no/nyheter/sier-og-skriver-det-russland-helst-vil-hore/ https://www.forskerforum.no/i-fjor-skrev-den-norske-professoren-over-femti-artikler-for-den-statlige-russiske-nyhetskanalen-rt/ https://khrono.no/kritiseres-for-a-skrive-i-statlige-russiske-rt-uakademisk-svarer-professor/667553 https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-abandons-neutrality/26758725.html
