Russian dictator Vladimir Putin believes that allegedly Ukraine is located in the “historical territories” of the Russian Federation.

Direct speech: “Why do they (Ukrainians – UP) have to live at our expense in our historical territories? And if they want to live in our historical territories, then influence your political leadership in such a way that normal relations are built with Russia, so that we no one threatened. That’s the problem!”

Details: Putin was even more outraged by the fact that NATO is trying to enter these “historical territories” of his. “They’re crazy, aren’t they?” he exclaimed.

The dictator again distorted everything in history. He stated that Ukraine supposedly arose only in 1922, after Lenin “out of some kind of fright” gave her “Russian lands.”
