At the very end of the 3/3/2014 episode of Russia Today's Breaking the Set,
Abby Martin reads a monolog explaining her own personal position about
Russia and the United States meddling with the sovereignty of the Ukrainian
people
"Before we wrap up the show I wanted to say something from my heart about
the ongoing political crisis in Ukraine and Russia's military occupation of
Crimea. Just because I work here, for RT, doesn't mean I don't have
editorial independence and I can't stress enough how strongly I am against
any state intervention in a sovereign nations affairs. What Russia did is
wrong. I admittedly don't know as much as I should about Ukraine's history
or the cultural dynamics of the region but what I do know is that military
intervention is never the answer and I will not sit here and apologize or
defend military aggression. Furthermore the coverage I have seen of Ukraine
has been truly disappointing from all sides of the media spectrum and rife
with disinformation. Above all my heart goes out to the Ukrainian people
who are now wedged as pawns in the middle of a global power chess game.
They're the real losers here. All we can do know is hope for a peaceful
outcome for a terrible situation and prevent another full blown cold war
between multiple super powers. Until then I'll keep telling the truth as I
see it. Have a good night everyone, I'll see you back here to break the set
tomorrow." -Abby Martin
