- The United Nations Security Council will meet on Wednesday.
What did Putin say in his Broadcast?
He quotes “No other way“, Ukraine was created by Russia. Russia’s purpose is to safeguard those who have been subjected to torture and genocide by the Kyiv administration for the past eight years.
Circumstances requires immediate action, “People of Donbas’ asked for help“. We strongly advise you to lay down your arms immediately and return home.
Furthermore Putin gave a threat of a Nuclear war “We are prepared, Whoever tries to stop us or threaten our country, to our people, should know that Russia’s answer will be immediate, and you will face repercussions you have never experienced before.“
