Russian president Vladimir Putin on events in Ukraine

For the West, Ukraine is just a tool to reach goals that have no common with interests of Ukrainian people

People say that US is ready to fight «till the last Ukrainian», that’s true

Events in Ukraine is tragedy, but Russia had no choice

Lukashenko presented documents on provocation in Bucha

Bucha is fake, like chemical weapons in Syria

Kyiv deviated from agreements reached in Istanbul, we returned to deadlocked situation

Russian special military operation proceeds according to initial planning of General Staff

We have nothing to hide, events shall be covered without fear or favor.
