    In a recent hustings event in Salisbury, Julian Malins KC, a Reform UK candidate aiming for a seat in the House of Commons, sparked controversy with his comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin. This incident occurred in Salisbury, the Wiltshire city where a deadly nerve agent attack involving Russian spies took place.

    Background on Julian Malins and His Remarks

    Julian Malins, a prominent barrister, faced criticism after expressing positive views about Vladimir Putin during the hustings event. He reportedly described Putin as ‘very good’ and even drew a controversial comparison between Putin and Adolf Hitler. These remarks drew audible disapproval from the audience, as reported by the Salisbury Journal.

    Reform UK’s Position and Nigel Farage’s Controversial Statements

    The controversy surrounding Malins coincided with remarks made by Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, regarding Putin’s regime. Farage’s comments included statements suggesting that NATO and the EU had provoked Russia’s actions in Ukraine. He also expressed admiration for Putin as a ‘political operator’.

    The Salisbury Nerve Agent Attack and Its Context

    The context of Malins’ remarks is particularly sensitive due to the 2018 Salisbury nerve agent attack. This incident saw the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal with Novichok, a deadly nerve agent, which also resulted in the death of Dawn Sturgess several months later.

    Julian Malins’ Stance on Diplomacy and Ukraine

    During the hustings event, Malins was questioned about Reform UK’s stance on Ukraine amidst Russia’s invasion. He emphasized support for diplomatic efforts and a peaceful resolution to the conflict, stating, “We support every possible effort to reach a compromise and a settlement over the issues in Ukraine.”

    Reactions to Malins’ Comments

    Following Malins’ remarks, there were swift reactions from other political figures. Andrew Murrison, the Conservative candidate for South West Wiltshire, criticized Malins on social media, stating, “Oh, good grief – this guy standing for Reform in Novichok’d Salisbury expressing his admiration for butcher Putin.”


    Conclusion

    The remarks made by Julian Malins during the Salisbury hustings have stirred significant controversy and debate. They come against the backdrop of heightened tensions between Russia and Western nations, particularly concerning Ukraine. The incident underscores the importance of careful diplomatic discourse and the impact of political statements on local and international relations.

    In light of these developments, both Julian Malins and Reform UK have been approached for further comment, reflecting the ongoing scrutiny and public interest surrounding this issue.
