Diesen has been a regular commentator on Russia Today (RT) and has faced criticism for allegedly promoting Russian propaganda.[3][4][5][6][7][8] He also writes for Steigan[21]The Swedish journalist Patrik Oksanen considers Diesen to be "part of the Russian propaganda machinery."[7] Aage Borchgrevink of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee said that Diesen has "an important role in RT as the Western expert, which gives legitimacy to what clearly appears to be the Kremlin's version [...] his writings are unreliable, the factual basis is doubtful, and characterized by the content and form of Russian propaganda, as expressed in RT and Sputnik."[6] Diesen has received the support of the rector of the University of South-Eastern Norway Petter Aasen, who defended the academic’s right to free expression. Diesen is opposed to Russia's military action against Ukraine.[22]In 2020, Diesen wrote an op-ed in Aftenposten with Arne Treholt, that stated that Russia has "legitimate interests and security needs" and said that Russia was unfairly demonized as a security threat.[23][non-primary source needed] The paper's former foreign affairs editor Kjell Dragnes wrote that Diesen and Treholt promoted Russian propaganda.[8]
