It was Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, who began joining the dots to suggest the West was under attack by Russian espionage. ...................... Their theory was displayed earlier this week when the former Russian soldier, from Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, was badly burned in an explosion on Tuesday in a hotel room in Roissy-en-France, near Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport. Investigators confirmed they had discovered bomb-making materials, as Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, arrived in France to join commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
It's sad that I don't know if this is a joke or if it could actually be real because MacGregor flattered him at the last UFC event or something.
