Vladimir Putin is openly blaming Ukraine for escalation while describing strikes on Moscow, Russian oil refineries, Black Sea shipping, and other targets — even as Ukraine continues suffering deadly Russian attacks against civilians, infrastructure, logistics, and businesses.

In this update, Greg translates and analyzes Putin’s latest remarks following Russia’s State Duma elections. Putin discusses the possibility of renewed negotiations, claims Ukraine “started everything,” acknowledges damage caused by Ukrainian strikes, and says future decisions on negotiations will be based solely on Russia’s interests.

The discussion then turns toward Europe and the Baltic states, where Putin denies plans for military action against Europe while again invoking alleged discrimination against Russian-speaking populations — language Greg compares directly with the arguments Moscow used before and during its aggression against Ukraine.

Greg also examines what Putin’s statements reveal about the Kremlin’s view of ceasefire proposals, negotiations, Western support for Ukraine, Estonia, NATO, and Russia’s continuing confrontation with Europe.
