The Pink Floyd co-founder also slammed the UK and EU elites for openly pushing for war with Russia Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters slammed Western governments for pushing for war with Russia and banning RT so the warmongering “propaganda of the ruling class” can be freely disseminated. Appearing on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, published on Friday, Waters expressed dismay that “some people in the governments of the United States of America, and the UK, and the European Union are making blood-curdling, bloodthirsty noises about” a potential conflict with Russia. He noted that EU nations, including Germany, are rapidly increasing their military spending and funneling taxpayers’ money “into a big piggy bank in order to fight the Russians.” “The Russians don’t want to invade Europe. What are they talking about?” he said, suggesting that certain interest groups are paying Western politicians to promote warmongering narratives and justify their outsized military expenditures. Rather than antagonizing Russia and silencing voices that challenge Western propaganda, Waters said, “we have to be cooperating with the Russian

Russia's answer to scholars who document the Holodomor—Soviet Moscow's starvation of the Ukrainian people—is simple: ban them . In January 2026, it barred Marta Baziuk, one of 16 Canadian scholars sanctioned for studying the Holodomor. That did not stop her. Seventy-seven days later, Baziuk helped put online a course she had spent three years building—free, worldwide, on a famine Russia dismisses as "western propaganda." The Holodomor killed at least 3.5 million Ukrainians in 1932–33, most scholars estimate, due to a famine Stalin's policies manufactured. The present-day Kremlin still calls it a hoax. Russia’s actions today echo the Soviet actions at the time of the Holodomor. Ninety years on, Russia is reviving them in occupied Ukraine: in Oleshky, across the Dnipro from Kherson, UN monitors say civilians have been cut off from food. The pattern is not lost on Ukraine's leaders. "If he could arrange another Holodomor for Ukraine, he would do it," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said of Vladimir Putin in 2023, hours after a Russian drone barrage on Holodomor Remembrance Day.

For months, Russian forces have cordoned off the occupied town of Oleshky. They have blocked roads and emptied pharmacies, all while mining the area. In June, a food truck ran over a landmine at the edge of town, killing a man bringing in aid. Up to 6,000 Ukrainians are still trapped in Oleshky and neighboring villages, more than 180 of them children. The last grocery store shut in January, and for stretches this spring no food reached the town at all. Ukraine has seen this before. In its siege of Oleshky, Russia is reviving methods Stalin’s regime used against Ukrainian villages in 1932 and 1933: branding villages "hostile," cutting them off from supplies, barring the starving from leaving, and letting hunger kill the population. That famine—the Holodomor—killed millions. People in Oleshky wait for food supplies. Photo: BBC Yet as it besieges Oleshky, Russia says the Holodomor never happened. Moscow has dismissed the Holodomor as Western propaganda, rewritten its schoolbooks to blame the famine on the weather, and in occupied Ukraine has torn down the memorials to its dead. Russia rewrites history in another w
