I do not know what Putin truly says because we are not alowed to know anything about Russia much at all but for what our Mob want to tell us.
So It's not an open free for all to be able to truly seek both sides of the issues and all such was never alowed truly to be open to debate openly and totaly, same in regards the Nazis.
But for that the Media got real one sided from say around when Obama came into power say ? so we lost what we once had ? to become like a Nazi Germany and Communist type of Media ! who dominates with such Socialist ends in fact !
Now as to Putin I do not know he said what you say.
But as for Trump, the fact is that if Biden was not in Power, the Russians would never entered that idiot War that they had been forcet to enter in fact ! do you get that.
Now in regards that the MSM demands that Russia is a full scale Invasion ! I do not believe that that is so at all.
The world has seen nothing yet to in regards the power that Russia truly has.
Fact is that the Media in the West has Lied time and time again, making out to the World that Russia is a non issue that the West can just play any stupid idiot games that they want to ! Such are crazy like a gay boy man with all foolish deceptions and delusions.
So we see Socialist here saying Russia is nothing ? because such boys think only what the Media tell them, Period ! they are that childish and totaly pathetic.
The West is being run by Gay boy men, bar for Trump in USA.
Now as for the Gay boy of the west Socialist leadership, they could not run a fish and chip shop in reality that's how pathetic they all are, Seriously !
They clearly work so as to undermine their own Nations People in fact !
Hey lets have another World War ! That's where it's heading ! and WW2 was just a joke in regards what WW3 can become in fact ! but the majority do not clearly understand what was involved in WW2 for all people to deal with.
I say stop your War Ukraine ! and become Human and work the issues out diplomaticly with Russia or go to Hell ! Stand up for once !
Your Nation is being dominated by a criminal fool Puppet Zelensky and his fat cats who have only wanted to creat only War for their own money making intrest and have showen no regard at all for the People of Ukraine, but death and distruction ! how bloody Stupid and pathetic !
Ukraine will become a dumping ground for all, your culture will be finished, you will be forced to take in Africans and Islamic trash in droves once your War is over and not to mention what has been sold off !
Ukraine is dead on it's feet sold out by fat cats and their Puppet Zelensky ! was it worth it to reject the right of People in East Ukraine to Vote ?
I am sure that if the rights of them people Voting was up held Ukraine would be totaly free and all would of been Good !
I understand that "Western" media doesn't provide truthful and complete information. I see this at least in how they present the Russia-Ukraine conflict. That's why I'm trying to tell you the history and causes of this conflict as detailed as possible. I have to leave a lot out, because if I wrote about everything, it could turn into a whole book.
On the other hand, I don't understand when you write that "you don't know what Putin said" after I've quoted his words. Don't you believe me?
Then go to the official Kremlin website and read it yourself, comparing it with what I quoted.

Then. You still insist that if it weren't for Biden, Russia wouldn't have gotten involved in the war in Ukraine. I assure you, Vladimir Lenin has more to do with the war in Ukraine than Biden.
A hundred years ago, the Bolsheviks began the ethnocide of Russians in Ukraine. A hundred years ago, Bolsheviks started telling Russians from Odessa to Kharkiv: "Now you can't consider yourself Russian; now you're a Soviet Ukrainian because you were born in Ukraine. If you behave well, speak Ukrainian, and say you're a Soviet Ukrainian, you'll get a carrot; if you remain Russian, you'll get a stick."
In major industrial regions, the active Ukrainization carried out by the Bolsheviks often caused bewilderment. A typical opinion from a worker-party member from Luhansk: "I'm convinced that 50% of Ukraine's peasantry doesn't understand this Ukrainian language, and the other half, even if they understand it, still does so worse than Russian... So why this treat for the peasants?" [10] One resident of the village of Mykolske in the Pavlovsky district of the Stalin region of the Ukrainian SSR, the author of a letter to the editor of "Krestyanska Gazeta" in 1927, complained that "in our Ukraine, in the Stalin district, books, announcements, various orders" are issued in Ukrainian, "unintelligible to the people... At meetings, they read orders, announcements, etc., in Ukrainian. The people say: 'Read in Russian, we understand it; we don't need to read in Hungarian,' i.e., in an unintelligible language." [11]
But Ukrainization didn't cause mass protests. The new Ukrainian Soviet elite increasingly asserted itself, and over the years, calls to end "cultural" and "economic colonization" grew louder. Already, writer Mykola Khvylovy logically put forward the slogan "Away from Moscow!" The local elite's interest in strengthening their positions at the republican level was evident during the events of 1991.
[10]. Central State Archive of Public Associations of Ukraine (CDAGO). F. 1. Op. 20. D. 2253. L. 91-92.
[11]. Voice of the People. Letters and responses from ordinary Soviet citizens about the events of 1918-1932. Moscow, 1998. P. 183.
What did the Banderites and Nazis do when they were given power in 1991? They told Russians: "Now you're not Soviet Ukrainians, just Ukrainians." And to those Russians who didn't bend to the Bolsheviks, they said: "If you don't want to bend to us, it's 'suitcase, train station, Russia.'"
Only there's no Russia anymore. There's the Russian Federation, and in the RF, ethnic Russians are also marginalized; instead, there are "rossiyane." "Rossiyane" is a post-1991 invention following the USSR's collapse, focusing on citizenship but not conveying the cultural or political significance of "rossiyane." "Rossiyane" are not just citizens; they are part of the state narrative of a unified multinational entity.
National minorities in the RF get a carrot for preserving their national identity. They're allowed to have their national republic, their republic's president, their national guard, like in Chechnya. But for Russians preserving their national identity, there's Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
For example, in England, English people make up 72%, Scots 8%, while in Russia, Russians are 81%, Tatars 4%, and everyone else in small numbers.
If the UK copied the structure of the RF, it would consist of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales... and that's it. There would be no England.
Instead, there would be a conglomerate of separate counties. The word "English" would be semi-banned. They'd just say "Britons."
Then read the constitutions of the national republics and the charters of the regions.
For example, the Constitution of the Udmurt Republic states that the interests of the Udmurts are primarily considered, while nothing is said about Russians. Something is mentioned about other peoples and national minorities. Although Udmurts make up 28% in the UR, and Russians 62%.
Russians say, "How so? We're the minority? I didn't come here; I've lived here all my life, and so did my parents, grandparents."
Russians are told: "Get out of here! Go to other regions of the RF. 'Suitcase, train station, Russia.'" And even if a Russian goes to Russia, what will they find there?
There are no constitutions in the regions, but there are charters.
And you won't find a region where it says that the interests of the Russian people are primarily considered. For example, the charter of the Volgograd region says something like: "
- The source of power in the region is the multinational people of the RF...," something else about the equality of all peoples, and nothing about Russians. Despite Russians making up 90% there.
There's no region in the RF where the interests of the Russian people are primarily considered. Say, if the governor of the Volgograd region said he acts primarily in the interests of the Russian people, he would immediately lose his post and likely be imprisoned. Then they'd strangle him in his cell and say he committed suicide.
But the head of the Udmurt Republic is obliged to act primarily in the interests of the Udmurt people because the constitution states that the UR is the hearth of the Udmurt nation. If he doesn't do this, he'll quickly lose his post.
Another example, the Republic of Tatarstan. There, as in Ukraine, Russians are forced, against their will, to learn the Tatar language, even though they don't need it and don't want to learn it.
So, your question is fundamentally wrong. The question isn't whether war is needed or not.
The question should be—where is war needed?
War is needed in the Russian Federation to liberate the oppressed Russian people from the remnants of the Judeo-Bolshevik yoke.
By the way, Putin is a KGB officer. And in the KGB, since the time of the revolution, almost the entire leadership has been Jewish. And Putin is also Jewish.
