Listen closely. Putin does not mention NATO expansion at all in his explanation for why he invaded. Not once. https://t.co/5dPwrXcPBy
Putin’s justifications for the war in Ukraine:
– “the main goal is to help people”
– “we were forced to do it”
– “we couldn’t put up with it any longer”
– “a clash was inevitable”
– “it was just a matter of time”
– “we didn’t have a choice, this was the right thing to do” https://t.co/FxDttjqrqh
