Blah blah blah. Vladimir Putin showed no sign of coming off message in his address on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. He also showed no sign of remorse or even original thought.
In a speech clearly intended to resonate with the Russians’ cultural mix of imperialism and paranoia, Putin insisted that the West have been the aggressors and that Putin’s invasion was in fact a defense of the motherland. “We aren’t fighting the Ukrainian people,” Putin said while spending the past year volleying missiles at their cities:

One has to wonder whether the Russians can see through these shabby lies, especially about not “fighting the Ukrainian people.” Almost a year ago, Putin defended the invasion on the basis that there is no such thing as a Ukrainian person. At the time, as well as before and after, Putin argued that Ukraine was in fact Russian and all of its inhabitants were Russian:

So today’s speech was nothing new, nor should we have expected it to be. If Putin had actually learned anything, he’d be withdrawing from Ukraine rather than throwing more cannon fodder into the battles. Putin has instead mobilized and deployed hundreds of thousands of replacements, but the impact of those new forces has been negligible at best.

You may read yourself not just some media hearsays.

Oh please. We can all chip in for airfare. Count me in.
I can personally vouch for the Nazism I saw in Kiev. Can you say otherwise?
Ukraine is not an innocent victim. Let them figure it out. Not my problem.
It’s funny. On a normal day, FReepers would scoff at this source, but now they like it when it says what they want it to. They’re just as bad as the commies they say they despise. Unless it’s infested with commies here. I can’t think that this many people can be so dumb as to believe the things they spout off here. They must be complicit in some way with ulterior motives.
That’s a very Ukrainian thing to do. Child trafficking too. That’s why I was there before. Trying to curb some of that.
Is murdering over 14,000 Russian speaking citizens in the eastern provinces of Ukraine at the hands of the Ukraine Nazi battalions not reason enough?
A complete lie.
I have to laugh at that. Was there a single shovel of dirt turned to build bases to attack Russia?
Comparisons with Cuba are weak. The sites in Cuba were actually built. We did nothing until the missiles were there.
We went to war with Germany over a telegram to the Mexican government.
The West in the 1930s opened the way for the Nazis to power in Germany, and in our time makes Ukraine “anti-Russia”
Well, duh. Even Russia recognized Ukraine as “not Russian” 30 years ago.
Stalin did a pretty good job scaring up some hate in Ukraine in the 1930s. That was 87 years ago. When are these fools going to realize that most everyone from those times are dead or senile.
Russia had a good run in the 1940’s. It’s time for them to come into the 21st century before it’s half over.
Here are three Putin lies, or as you Putin Fanbois refer to them, "Mother's Milk." Drink deeply:
1. The threat is growing, and every day. The incoming information left no doubt that by February 2022, everything was ready for another bloody punitive action in the Donbass
2. Those who planned (in February 2022) a new attack on Donetsk, Donbass, and Luhansk clearly understood that the next target was a strike on Crimea and Sevastopol, and we knew and understood this.
3. We are not at war with the people of Ukraine,
Bonus lie! But they also cannot but be aware that it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield,
I’m sure there are.
But the country is NOT run by nazis.
Hell ,there are nazis in the US.
Sorry we dont agree.
You are wrong about all 3 of your claims
-> Russia had a good run in the 1940’s. It’s time for them to come into the 21st century before it’s half over.
I don’t disagree. Part of it is their history. Part is their culture, part is their geography…
And part is the need for other countries to have an enemy.
There’s no genocide — by either combatant.
Ukraine is run by Nazis 100%.
I don’t care to be honest. I want to fix my own continent. They can have at it.
So Zelinsky is a nazi. The Jewish nazi.
Wow.
Ukraine is not a good guy even remotely.
That’s why all Ukrainians I meet here blame him.
Damn, you're the best advertisement for the Pro-Ukraine side I've seen yet.
