Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses Parliament on Tuesday ahead of Ukraine war anniversary. During his speech, Putin warned the West, in particular the Americans about the consequences of the war. He said that the "West put Genie out of the bottle."
Putin cracks on America
"The whole planet is surrounded by American bases. They started the war. We used force and tried to stop them," Putin said while criticising America.
"America is indirectly trying to control Ukraine," Putin further asserted in a direct attack on its cold war rival.
War started to protect Donbass: Putin
He also stated that Russia is not at war with the people of Ukraine and tried to stop the war. On the other hand he cleared that the war was started to protect the Donboss territory. "We initiated the war, as there was a conspiracy of attack on Cremia," said Putin.
Putin also claimed that Russia had no option but to get at war. He further stated that Ukraine tried to acquire nuclear weapons which worsen the situation from their end.
