Please give me a single example backing up the claim that Quincy Institute is "a thoroughly pro-Russian think tank"

On their page "Quincy Institute’s Position on Russia-Ukraine" they say at the very beginning:

> We categorically condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, and support U.S. assistance for Ukraine’s self-defense.

It has been suggested that QI’s approach is insufficiently critical of Russia.

Followed by the sentence "A cursory search of our writings and our website shows this to be false."

Would you honestly genuinely describe this as "a thoroughly pro-Russian think tank"? Dishonesty

It is clear that the opinion it's pro-Russian is widespread enough they need to make advance disclaimers. You wanted "a single example backing up the claim", you got one - from the horse's mouth.
