MOSCOW (AP) — As the West sounded the alarm about the Kremlin ordering troops into eastern Ukraine and decried it as an invasion, Russian state media painted a completely different picture — of Moscow coming to the rescue of war-torn areas tormented by Ukraine’s aggression and bringing them peace.

The fanfare came hours after Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s recognition of the separatist areas in eastern Ukraine as independent states and ordered its troops to “maintain peace” in territory where Russia-backed rebels have been fighting Kyiv’s forces since 2014 — a conflict that has killed over 14,000 people.

TV presenters hailed the “historic” day and professed the end of suffering for the residents of the breakaway regions.

Putin will be seen as liberator of Russian speaking people in Ukraine and will become more popular in Russia.

And then we’ll see how well this thing stands up to the FGM-148.

“Putin will be seen as liberator of Russian speaking people in Ukraine”

Only according to press beholden to Putin, NOT to any majority in Ukraine.

If I were an ethnic Russian living in the liberated areas, I’d look at Putin as a savior. Ukranians there likely view him a bit different.

Putin does not care about MAJORITY of Ukrainians. He only cares about the Russian speaking faction in Ukraine.
