American journalist Candace Owens said that she cannot be forced to hate Russia.
Owens stated in a post on social media that after learning about Russia, she found it impossible to hate the country. Her post included the US and Russian flags with a heart emoji.
This move came in response to a news report about an American veteran whose severe symptoms disappeared after Russian doctors removed a clot from a brain vessel.
Owens had previously described her visit to Russia as 'wonderful'. The journalist said the visit did her a lot of good.
Additionally, Owens, who announced she would apply for a long-term visa to Russia, said she wants to visit Russia at least twice a year with that visa.
Owens' post reignited discussion of her views on Russia and stood out as a notable comment in American public opinion.
