“We still had confidence, cautious, but still There was confidence in the agreements with our western partners. When we signed Minsk’s agreements we expected them to be fulfilled, but, as seen later, we were simply deceived, “he lamented
In fact, Putin has stressed that Russia “I had no intention of starting a war,” but “I wanted to solve the question of Donbás peacefully.”
“We wanted to believe” in compliance with Minsk’s agreements and that is why the “Special military operation”, Russian denomination of the large -scale invasion of Ukraine.
“We had no other than believing and not performing abrupt movements without first doing the appropriate work in the fields of security, the reinforcement of the armed forces and those of the economy and finance, but we do not prepare specifically for this. We wanted to solve the problem of Donbás by peaceful means “he said. “It turned out that the other part thought and acted differently,” he said.
Specifically, he has pointed to the West, “Our geopolitical adversary”, to act in a “very insidious” way since 2000. “They said one thing and made another totally different,” he argued. As an example, the Second Chehenia War has put, in which “the Western political forces supported the fundamentalists of the Caucasus to persar that they were called terrorists.”

“It is clear that there are electoral technologies, administrative resources, but ultimately The decision is from the peopleof the Russian people, of the citizens, of the voters. A person who does not have the confidence of the people would have no option to do anything serious, “he argued.
Putin has signed up in any case that is “An absolutely fundamental issue”. “Therefore, when I think about this, and I constantly think about it, of course, I think that a person, or better, several people should arise, so that people can choose who will win the trust of the citizens of this country,” he explained.

Trump has argued that Ukraine will return the loan money to Europeans, while Joe “Biden simply gave them 350,000 million dollars.” “You have no idea where the money is. What has happened. At least we, in one way or another, we will recover it (…). I do not feel so idiot and, that it is remembered, this is the Biden war. This war would never have happened if I were president,” he argued.
“It is a terrible, terrible war. I see how the soldiers shoot. Tremendous. Up to 5,000 soldiers die average a week. They are not American soldiers, but I want to solve the problem. They are Russian soldiers and are Ukrainian soldiers. If I can save 5,000 souls, I would love to do it, “he said.
