Putin Hints at Those Behind Ukraine's Coup

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Russia was literally forced to initiate a special operation in Ukraine and is being blamed for it. This was reported by TASS.

“We did not organize the coup in Ukraine. We were always told that elections were necessary, democracy was required. They carried out a coup and that was that, as if it were supposed to be this way,” said Putin, adding that after the change of power in Ukraine, the persecution of Donbas residents began, followed by their destruction.

The Russian president declared that the armed forces of Russia had to strike against the opponent.
