Russian dictator Vladimir Putin called the war against Ukraine “a ticket for the Russians.” He cynically justified the invasion and blamed it all on NATO.

He said this during a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, Russian media quoted him as saying, Censor.NET reports .
“Unfortunately, so far it has not been possible to stop the hostilities (in) Ukraine, but the responsibility for this lies primarily with Europe. Europe is constantly escalating the conflict, they have no other goals. If NATO had not approached Russia’s borders, the conflict (in) Ukraine could have been avoided. If Trump had been in power, the conflict could have been avoided,” the Kremlin leader claims.
Putin also called the “mantra” of European politicians about a possible war with Russia nonsense.
” Russia is going to attack NATO? This nonsense is impossible to believe! We have never initiated military confrontations ourselves. But if they want to compete with Russia, let them try. I want to say: calm down, sleep peacefully, finally deal with your problems… We are closely monitoring the militarization of Europe, which is gaining strength. Either these are words, or it is time for us to take appropriate measures,” he says.
The Russian dictator hypocritically stated that “it hurts Russians to watch the suffering” of Ukrainians: “The Ukrainian tragedy is a pain for Ukrainians and for Russians, for all of us.”
According to him, “work on creating a security zone on the border of Russia and Ukraine is going according to plan.”

The Russian dictator hypocritically stated that “it hurts Russians to watch the suffering” of Ukrainians: “The Ukrainian tragedy is a pain for Ukrainians and for Russians, for all of us.”
HE MUST BE SHOT ASAP!
I agree that the EU and Turkey organized the illegal removal of a democratically elected president in Ukraine, something the US and Brazil would never tolerate. However, without a UN mandate the ruSSia had no right to intervene in Ukraine’s internal affairs, not to mention mass murder, kidnapping and illegal territorial occupations. So GFY!!!
There is no evidence whatsoever that either turkey or the EU removed Yanukovich. Why would Turkey? Yanukovich was a close ally.
His own party disowned him, that is why he fled to his spiritual home of putlerstan.
As for being democratically elected, his campaign was run by Ukraine’s worst enemy outside Russia: Paul Manafort, a filthy, devious convicted criminal funded by putlerstan. The rightful winner was Tymoshenko.
“work on creating a security zone on the border of Russia and Ukraine is going according to plan.”
It is going to plan, but not for you. Your filthy scum are being decimated in Sumy.
“If NATO had not approached Russia’s borders, the conflict (in) Ukraine could have been avoided.”
Could have been avoided, means you would have used another excuse to invade Ukraine. What happened to the excuse of nazism? Plus, NATO didn’t approach russian borders, ex Soviet slave countries approached NATO.
Yeah, that’s all hand-wringing by the tiny poisoner. Popularity for NATO in Ukraine wasn’t over 50% until after his all-in invasion of 2022. Then the sentiment rose from 45 to 75%. So the little mutherfucker should blame himself.
Exactly. Czechia and Slovakia joined Nato to be safe from ruSSia. Even Hungary. Putin is talking bull as usual.
