Chay Bowes is a spokesman for Russia Today, and a former owner of "The Ditch", an Irish muckraking website. He was invited by Russia to address the UN and claimed Ukraine as institutionally corrupt in 2019 (prior to Zelenskyy's presidency) as justification for the invasion. https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2023/0630/1392098-un-chay-bowes/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ditch_(website) https://voxukraine.org/en/messing-with-the-truth-disinformation-in-the-west-spread-by-chay-bowes
