The president was forced by who ?

They are attacking how can it be self defense

Hope nato defends themselves from russia soon 😉

And I am going too sued for trillions and trillions of dollars for what they done too me

The marines are going too fall and facing charges against me for crimes they made on me

No one believes you Putrid........ Isn't it ironic that Russia's Victory Day was started to celebrate victory over the Nazis and now Putrid had given the world the new Nazis. 🤦🤦🤦

He learned everything he knows from us.

That is an act of defense as much as me burning my neighbor garden was an act of weed control!

I’m trying to get my head around this. Russia attacked Ukraine because it was afraid that Ukraine would attack Russia. Did I get that right? In retrospect, Putin should’ve been afraid of Ukraine, but he had no idea.

That is really stretching the truth.

What a load of first class piffle. 🤦‍♀️

There is never an excuse to attack, bomb, terrorize & kill innocent people just because you want their country. It is inhumane, barbaric & is a crime against humanity. Deck out your differences in a fighting ring with the ones you have a problem with instead of blowing things up.

Defence from what? They started it.

It seems to me, if you’re the offense, it’s hard to claim defense.

Sorry, how he was forced to invade? When he invaded first CRIMEA in 2014 and later Donbas area and finally engaged in occupying Ukraine. What a lie?

Feed your fodder and tripe to Peppapigs. If this government was trustworthy and honorable to its people. KremlinRussia_E might not be taking these steps. People in this country dying BorisJohnson but at least can sit on bus all day to keep warm. With Death of NHS on the side

David was a threat to poor Goliath

💀

STOP calling Putin, 'President'... He's a DICTATOR. The title of PRESIDENT, is reserved for leaders who were ELECTED IN A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION BY THE PEOPLE. When you imprison and poison your opponents, you are not entitled to be called 'President'. DictatorPutin

We believe him

He’s been warning NATO about intervening in Ukraine since the early 2000’s. Saw this coming a mile away - how don’t more people remember this

Isn't that an argument to invade ANY country?

Crazy Russian Grandpa

Makes perfect sense

So Putin is using the “Bush Doctrine” to justify his Ukraine invasion? So he basically said “THEY DID IT FIRST!” Two wrongs don’t make a right

STOOOOOOP CALLING HOM “PRESIDENT” He is not an efen president! He has NOT been dully elected ever!!! He is an AUTHORITARIAN DICTATOR. CallItByItsName SayTheTruth StopSugarCoatingCriminals By not calling things as they are you are part of the process of allowing destruction.

Everyone was getting over the pandemic nobody gave a shit about russians. More like getting themselves back in the limelight, should be ashamed of what is happing.

I call bullshit.

Vienna Convention gives Diplomats & Embassies absolute immunity … Attacking Ambassadors or violating Embassies is TERRORISM… Russian Diplomats & Embassies in Europe deserve protection & violators ought be arrested & charged. War never derogates diplomatic rights.

“Lies and the lying liars who tell them” Believe it was the title of an Al Frankenstein book a few years back. Perfect fit for Putler tho!

He is Right but no one lesson to his speech.

Yes, all those schools, orphans, maternity wards, big threat to Russian bear. Must use rockets to defend fatherland.

BS

Hows that working out...

Has anyone managed to get a full house in Putins 'BS bingo' yet? 🤔

May God bless Putin and the people of 🇷🇺.He is the reason the devilish new world order is stalling.May he be victorious over the evils he is fighting against.

GOD in Heaven sees and knows All. The wrong that has been done against others will come with consequences either in this life or death.

No doubt his assertion is correct but now a way must be carved out to normalise the situation.

Maga cult will believe this BS

When is he visiting the Moskva?

Wondering what Putin's excuse for invading Ukraine, will be next week? There has been so many. PutinsWar

Lol

He's correct

It is a sin to tell a lie isn’t it?

Yes, because NATO is always out for a land grab!

Unfortunately, he is kinda right. USA EU are the only two places that constantly break treaties and expect the other side to just accept it.

PutinIsaWarCriminal

When did a foreign soldier last set foot in Russia. WW 2

F!

Putin's Full Speech

Are you stenographer or journalists?

Yes because Ukraine was so powerful against little Russia he felt threaten

He looks like a feral cat

Speechless

Well… that’s what you wanted.

Absolutely true. Nationalist aggression towards Russians has been going on for a long time in Ukraine and Ukraine nazi volunteer war crimes have been ignored by the west. Surprised Russia has shown restraint and didn't go in years ago.

He’ll run out of lies soon and his people will turn against him! Russia wants to celebrate Victory today but they’ll be many Russian families grieving lost ones in what is a pointless, ego driven war. However their voices and tears will not be made public, for today anyway.🙏🏻

THESE RUSSIAN NAZIS STARTED THIS DISGUSTING WAR. Let us hope that , at least some of, their words are prophetic and they are 'destroyed'

Sauron invaded Gondor for the exact same reason...............

Why are you still calling him ‘President’, he is dictator. dictator Putin.

The aggression wasn’t coming from the Ukrainians. But hey go invade China and see what happens.

Again, reading a poem.

Tripe newspaper.

🤡

You'd really think you would all be pushing for the Russia report... shitjournalism

He claimed that his war was necessary to prevent an “absolutely unacceptable threat” against Russia. 🗣️ “The death of every soldier and officer is painful for us,” he said. “The state will do everything to take care of these families”

He is right remember Cuba

We liked Russia up until they invaded Ukraine

🔊💩🎪

Known as “get your retaliation in first!” Which maybe fine in a pub fight…less justifiable on the world stage.

Ok, that was his today's selection for a lie to justify Russian attack against Ukraine. No other but Russia is aggressive.

Putin, obviously does not have the vocabulary of peace. He is looking for historical mortality. His name needs to be deleted completely.

wonder if related to amberturd

Putin defending himself from his demons- fear to lose the power as his window is closing, such a personality change from pretending to be a democrat to bombing Ukrainian cities- no one can Ema fine this in USSR- he crossed the red line should be tried for crimes against humanity

Putin' everything on its head - aggression is to him defence, victims of genocide are to him nazis, land he came to steal is to him his land...

Nazi russia

Aggression against Russia - most countries in NATO were friends of Russia. They depended on Russia for oil and gas, grains and goodwill, and we were integrating like brothers and friends. Now look what you have done Pres. Putin, in 3 months.

1984

kind of backfired though

Putin has dementia.
