“Russian President Vladimir Putin has said his country had "no other choice" but to invade Ukraine and that what he has called a "special military operation" was aimed at saving people in the Donbas region.
"Its goals are absolutely clear and noble," the Russian president said.
Putin said that "we had no other choice" except to take military action against Ukraine and "there is no doubt that we will achieve our goals."
"On the one hand, we are helping and saving people, and on the other, we are simply taking measures to ensure the security of Russia itself," Putin said.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Putin went on to say: "They were deliberately fostering these neo-Nazi grassroots, and their clash with the Russian forces was inevitable.
"They were simply biding their time for an attack, and the ensuing events demonstrated how deep these roots go. The neo-Nazism became a fact of life for our neighboring country. It was a matter of time," the Russian president said.”

In other words, Putin lies for a living.
But it’s also amazing as to how close his words are to those used by some of the chatters in this forum. The communists used to call those citizens of the West who parroted their propaganda to be “useful fools”. Looks like that term applies once again to those who are willing to parrot Putin propaganda on a daily basis.
