The official Twitter account for the Russian Embassy in the UK posted a picture reading “keep calm but I told you so” following the Chilcot report revelations.

Russia stayed out of the Iraq War in 2003, stating that we could not ignore the fact that “substantial progress” had been made since chief weapons inspector Hans Blix and International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed El Baradei first visited the country.

Although Russia did have oil interests in Iraq and the country owed it over $8 billion in debt at the time.

The Chilcot report revealed that the UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted. It also found that military action at that time was not a last resort.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
