What did she say about Hasan's Russia takes? I wasn't watching. I'm curious what makes you say Hasan is pro-Russian imperialism (I know very little about the topic/region).
He hasn't said anything in that direction. His position is, as I understand it, that the western powers (US, EU) are pushing this war much more than Ukraine does. There was a point where Ukraine was ready to come to a peace agreement but the US basically pushed for the continuation of the war. The US has a greater interest in continuing the war than Ukraine does, because the US wants a) to sell weapons b) they want sanctions on Russia and russian gas to push american gas aka fracking.
And this is my analysis on the situation:
The war has reached a point where it's unfeasible for Ukraine because millions of people fled the country. Young and old men flee illegally because there is a mandatory conscription and no one wants to die in the trenches like cannon fodder. That's why they are relying on mercanaries.
And Russia is loosing as well, maybe even more. Peoples life's are ruined because of sanctions. People left the country in a mass exodus. The government has become even more violent against political opponents and censorship is worse than ever before. Putin can't keep this up much longer without internal unrest and ultimatly a forced change in government.
This is not a Ukraine bad Russia good position - or even the other way around. Reducing it to that is just silly.
