My position doesn’t matter - Russia drew a red line with Ukraine, we crossed it - it was our choice.

Nonsense! Putin planned eventually to invade Ukraine no matter what we did since he has alway considered Ukraine as a part of Russia. He was only looking for an opportunity. The excuses that he has given are only that: excuses.
