LIVE from Russia: War Correspondent Johnny Miller

The presentation features journalist Johnny Miller discussing his views on the Ukraine-Russia war, media censorship, and Western policies. He argues that advocating for peace between Europe and Russia has become controversial due to widespread political repression. Miller criticizes NATO and Western governments for fueling the war rather than pursuing diplomatic solutions. He believes Ukraine is losing the conflict and that European interests are suffering.

Miller, who has reported from various war zones, initially covered the war from Kyiv but later moved to Russian-controlled territories. He claims that Western media suppresses perspectives that critique NATO's role in the war and that journalists who do so face persecution. Due to his reporting, he sought political asylum in Russia, fearing arrest if he returned to the UK.

Miller asserts that Crimea and other Russian-controlled regions are largely pro-Russian and that many residents prefer stability over returning to Ukrainian rule. He describes Russia as a relatively free society despite Western portrayals of it as an authoritarian state. He also suggests that Ukraine will eventually have to cede territory to achieve peace. Lastly, he emphasizes the difficulty of finding work as a journalist promoting better relations with Russia, given the dominant Western media narrative.
