Russian President Vladimir Putin defended this Wednesday that the invasion of Ukraine is “fully justified” and “is developing successfully.” In a meeting on socio-economic support measures, Putin has indicated that the Russian authorities asked the Ukrainians “not to participate in hostilities” and “simply withdraw their troops from Donbas”. with the aim of “avoiding senseless bloodshed”.
“They did not want to do it. This is their decision,” Putin said, before remarking that the invasion “is developed successfully, in strict adherence to the pre-approved plans”, according to the Russian news agency Interfax. According to Putin, “Ukraine, encouraged by the United States and several Western countries, has deliberately prepared for a scenario of force, for a bloody massacre and ethnic cleansing in Donbas.”
Thus, he has insisted that “a massive attack in Donbas and then in Crimea was a matter of time.” Putin has abounded in that Russia “was simply forced” to launch the offensive by “completely exhausting” all diplomatic and peaceful possibilities. On the other hand, he has once again stressed that Moscow has no intention of occupying Ukraine. “We don’t have that goal,” he added.
The Nazi regime in kyiv could have obtained weapons of mass destruction and Russia would be their target.”
The Russian president has warned that, in the past, the Ukrainian authorities had issued statements in which, he says, recognized their “intention to develop their own nuclear weapons”, so the threat was “real”. “The Nazi regime in kyiv could have obtained, with foreign technical assistance, weapons of mass destruction in the near future and, of course, Russia would be its target,” Putin denounced, according to the Russian agency TASS.
Given the various batteries of sanctions in response to the invasion imposed by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom or Canada, among other international powers, the Russian president has stressed that they aim to “harm” “every citizen of Russia” . “The international leaders they no longer hide that the sanctions are not directed against certain people or companiestheir goal is to harm the entire Russian economy, its social and humanitarian sphere, in every family, every citizen of Russia.”
At this point, it has valued those companies that, “despite shameless pressure from the West and its vassals“, continue to operate on Russian territory, and has announced that in the future “they will have additional capabilities for development”. On the other side of the scale are the companies that “cowardly betrayed their partners” and neglected employees and clients in Russia when leaving the country Regarding these, Putin has said that the Government “knows” what they are, although he has remarked that Moscow, “unlike Western states”, will respect property rights.
