Letters to the Editor: Truth is once again the casualty of another war

As the war drags on and the world watches, Putin now finds himself having to issue nuclear threats to the West.

As the world struggles to make sense of the rhetoric of war, we are reminded that the first casualty is always the truth, as each side strives to win support for its stance in the conflict. The Ukraine/Russia “special operations” later to become war is a perfect example of where claims and counterclaims play such an important part in moulding global opinion.

Vladimir Putin has lost this one.
