According to him, the actions of the Ukrainian authorities, in particular, the course towards integration into NATO, “created an unacceptable threat for Russia.”
Defense Minister of the aggressor country Sergei Shoigu said that the decision to conduct a “special operation” was made allegedly because of “unacceptable threats to Russia’s security created by the Ukrainian authorities.”
His words are quoted by the propaganda publication TASS.
On Saturday, August 20, during his speech at the plenary session of the First International Anti-Fascist Congress, Shoigu also repeated the propaganda thesis that “for eight years the Kyiv regime has committed egregious crimes against citizens of the DPR and LPR.”
He also added that “at the same time, the military development of the Ukrainian territory by the North Atlantic Alliance began, and Kyiv headed for joining NATO.” For this reason, Shoigu explained, President Putin made the only correct decision in February to conduct a “special military operation.”
“The Russians can suffer like no other,” Shoigu said before the war
On February 11, almost two weeks before a full-scale Russian invasion, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace held talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu about the possible side effects of such a scenario, writes WSJ.
In response to Wallace’s warning about future sanctions and how much harm they could do to the country, Shoigu assured that “Russians can suffer like no other” and added that they could no longer “tolerate Ukraine’s western trajectory.”
Earlier, Bloomberg sources told with whom and how Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine . According to journalists, the decision to invade was made in a narrow circle of “hawks” – the head of the Ministry of Defense Shoigu, the chief of the General Staff Gerasimov and the Secretary of the Security Council Patrushev.

NO COMMENT
Shoigu says Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine wanted to join NATO…but…not a word about Finland actually joining NATO. I don’t see why these tough nazis guys don’t just man up and tell the truth, they are threatened by Ukraine because Ukraine has a future and friends, unlike the RuZZian fascists. If Ukraine succeeds then the Russian people will want that too. Heaven forbid…
Why is this clown still being taken seriously by being quoted. He’s an idiot along with his boss.
“Russians can suffer like no other” and added that they could no longer “tolerate Ukraine’s western trajectory.”
What he means is the sheep will suffer to keep the mafia gang in power. Nothing changed in over 300 years, the sheep will continue to be walked all over, and we call the europeans spineless.
“According to him, the actions of the Ukrainian authorities, in particular, the course towards integration into NATO, “created an unacceptable threat for Russia.”
So, this artificial threat has already erased half of mafia land’s combat power. Having kept itself out of Ukraine’s business would not have led to tens of thousands of deaths that mafia land can ill afford to lose, seeing its already negative birthrate. Thus, the only danger lurking anywhere is the pack of clowns hiding in the Kremlin behind a wall of lies.
“The Russians can suffer like no other,”
Translation:
“The common Russian people can suffer like no other. Us leaders hide behind their suffering.”
