Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed the West for provoking the war with Ukraine, in a State of the Nation address.
"Ukraine and Donbas have become a symbol of total lies," Putin said, accusing the West of withdrawing from "fundamental agreements" and giving "hypocritical statements" as well as expanding the Nato defence alliance and "covering us with an umbrella".
"I want to repeat: it is them who are culpable for the war, and we are using force to stop it," he said.
Putin’s speech came ahead of the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Friday.

Thanks to families, teachers, doctors.4) The more long-range systems the West supplies, the further Russia will be forced to move the front line away from Russia's borders.5) Thanks to the sanctions of the West, many places have been vacated for Russian companies, these places should be occupied by Russian companies.6) More benefits for the IT sector, including free housing for programmers.7) Support from the state of Russia for families with children. Traditional values where mom and dad are.8) Western politicians are trying to rewrite history, but we know the truth. ....وسعت24

An atrocity of holocaust proportion; the major reason for the war, instigated by poor leadership of persecuting its own citizens because of language and culture. It is sickening.
