#Putin's speech here; he is a raging maniac, still speaking about the collapse of the USSR, the balance of powers in the world destroyed and using offensive language, basically challenging the US thttps://www.vesti.ru/video/2386956
"Due to the fact that after the collapse of the USSR, Moscow lost confidence in itself, the balance of power in the world was upset. At the same time, American politicians resorted to lies at the highest level, "blatant behavior." "chemical weapons" of Iraq, which did not exist."
"The US is an empire of lies. (sic!!) The collective West supported separatism and mercenary gangs in southern Russia. Until recently, the attempts of the West to use us in their interests did not stop. "

#Putin sounds like an abandoned lover, bitter and despondent. He sighs, and confesses that the US would never accept Russia into NATO, clears his throat, sighs, "Why, why? Don't want to be friends, but why be enemies?!" "Cheated upon!" #Тижменепідманула
He needs urgent psychiatric help; a deranged speech, with. "Knife to our throat", "they spit on us", "dogs are barking, caravan walking" within one minute. "People w/PPD suffer from paranoia, an unrelenting mistrust & suspicion..., even when there is no reason to be suspicious.
Now he's talking about an imaginary "genocide" that is unbearable and can't be accepted any longer, and about the "regime" in Kyiv that "captured" power in Ukraine

#Putin just told #Macron and #Scholz that he will recognize #Donetsk and #Luhansk oblasts of #Ukraine as independent. This violation of international law & territorial integrity of Ukraine will be used as a pretext for the #Russian invasion, most likely. #UkraineConflict
#Zelenskyy tweeted that he will hold urgent consultations with Macron and Sholz and convene with the National Security and Defense Council.
#Putin is now giving a REALLY LONG speech that makes no sense and is all over the place but it is really aggressive (that's the only thing one can make out of it)
