Trump has pointed out that Zelensky started this war, and that the Ukraine should have negotiated to end it Spring of 2022. SO yes, Russia is fighting back about NATO's aspiration to force regime change in Russia. NATO would like to install a NATO puppet, like the Ukraine's Zelensky. And it's hypocritical of Ukraine to scream that Putin is violating the ceasefire with an attack on the 28th when the Ukraine attacked Russian energy infrastructure on March 22nd, 23rd, and 24th.

"On March 22, Kiev carried out two drone strikes on the Valuika gas distribution station in the settlement of Shvedunovka in Russia’s borderline Belgorod Region. A day later, on March 23, Russian air defenses repelled a Ukrainian drone attack on the Glebovskoye gas condensate field on Crimea’s Cape Tarkhankut Crimea. And early on March 24, the enemy tried to conduct a drone attack on the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station, the Russian Defense Ministry said."

ransomnote: The linked thread is sourced by a TASS article. Ukrainiacs keep quoting NATO sources, and NATO is conducting a proxy war against Russia. So NATO is not more reliable than TASS. NATO is actually far worse, having helped overthrow the Ukraine and destroyed the Ukrainian way of life in their proxy war. NATO is less reliable as a news source. NATO postured about giving Ukraine all this support and then admitted it couldn’t. NATO has been lying, claiming Ukraine was winning until they couldn’t hide the fact that the Ukraine can’t win.

Trump has pointed out that Zelensky started this war

Trump corrected that statement. Wars are started by declarations of war or invasions. In this case Russia carried out a wide-scale invasion of Ukraine

Pressed on the subject in an interview with Fox News Radio on Friday, he acknowledged Russia had invaded Ukraine on the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Russia attacked, but they shouldn’t have let him attack,” Trump said, adding that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and then-U.S. President Joe Biden should have taken steps to avert the invasion.
