Russia, the biggest pariah
Ukraine has 50 countries discussing their intent to continue providing military aid at televised summits. Russia has 2 countries (Iran and China) denying they are providing the military aid everyone knows they are.
Iran has denied supplying Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine, saying it ‘has not and will not’ do so.
The denial, reportedly made in a phone call between Iran’s Foreign Minister and his Portuguese counterpart on Friday, follows claims by Kyiv and US intelligence that Russia is using Iranian-made “kamikaze drones” in its attacks on Ukrainian territory.

Indeed, it betrays a consciousness of guilt that authoritarian countries often resort to lying, gaslighting, and projecting when defending their activities on the world stage.
