Most sensible people know that only idiots/racists and bots like Reform - and Ukraine helped proved it, by bombing Russian data centres leading to a massive drop in pro-reform engagement on social media 
There are times Azz, when your natural tolerance and kindness towards others who don’t hold your views seem to be a tad, er, elusive. 
It’s ok to be intolerant of the intolerant.
It’s 2026 and the world is in crisis - there is no room or sympathy for idiotic bigoted people anymore

Such an attitude, imho, contributes to the problem rather than the solution.
Explain to me how intolerance and name calling will resolve intolerance 
It’ll make people think twice before sharing bigoted views (or supporting those who do) for one - and it’ll show everyone else that they’re not alone, and that standing up to such people is the right thing to do.
It’ll also show those who hold such views that the world is ok with ostracising them - if they really want to hold such views, fine, but then they have to accept that they won’t be welcome in social spaces or communities like this one - those that pride themselves on decency, equality and fairness.
Kind decent folk are welcome here, vile, hateful bigots are not.
Thank you for clarifying this.
Back to the main story - it confirms that Putin continues to promote division and conflict within European countries. He sees any internal disagreements as reducing the effectiveness of push back against his expansionist goals.
As with most things nowadays, one has to rely on the validity of the data being scrutinised.
