Fact check: Former Nato chief did not say EU expansion ‘provoked’ Putin

Publisher’s rating: Lord Robertson had previously said of President Putin, in an interview with the New Statesman, that: “[he’s] not bothered about Nato, or Nato enlargement”. He also said: “The whole Ukraine crisis started with the offer of an [EU] accession agreement to Ukraine [in 2014].” However, Lord Robertson added that the EU was “not at fault”, and has since said that Mr Farage is “parroting the Kremlin Line”.
