Putin invaded, Russians are the perpetrators.
“Putin invaded”
No, the war started because a US puppet Banderist Nazi Regime decided to engage in ethnic cleansing on Russia’s border and Putin was asked to intervene on behalf of the four Donbass regions who had been under shelling and genocide since 2014!

1st EXCERPT - Putin’s War:
It was Putin’s fear of “color revolutions” – a fear that had begun with Ukraine’s “Orange Revolution” of 2004—that pushed him towards reinforcing both his authoritarianism and his opposition to the West. Secondly, and decisively, he saw that the “repolarization” he was seeking internationally earnt his country additional prestige—without provoking a reaction from America.
2nd EXCERPT - Putin’s War:
Putin’s role in the Syrian crisis allowed Russia to return as a power in the Middle Eastern theater, and The BRICS group that Minister Lavrov had so skillfully formed allowed Russia to rejuvenate its waning international influence. Most of the world’s developing nations agreed with his denunciation of Western “treason” over Libya.
BETWEEN THE TIME FRAMES OF THOSE TWO EXCERPTS:
Putin invaded Georgia, east of the Black Sea. And that, both:
- activated some NATO mechanisms
- increased eastern European interest in seeking national security assistance from NATO.
3rd EXCERPT - Putin’s War:
Western hesitancy over supporting the Syrian rebels, particularly Obama’s failure to follow through on his “red lines” in August 2013 and the dazed Western response to Russia’s Syrian intervention in September 2015, convinced Putin that he had adopted a winning strategy.
