🤡Putin stated that the war with Ukraine should have started earlier but did not specify when. Once again, he complained about Western leaders allegedly “leading him on.”
He claimed that not invading Ukraine in 2022 would have been “a crime against the interests of Russia and its people.”
Previously, Putin suggested the war should have started even earlier.
When asked by a Kremlin propagandist about the exact time, he responded that it was impossible to name a specific date.
“In any case, we should have realized earlier that our opponents were not planning to fulfill the Minsk agreements, that they were simply deceiving us, misleading us. If they used them to prepare for future military actions, they clearly anticipated that such actions would begin. This means they expected hostilities to occur. Understanding this, we should have acted more decisively and in a timely manner, preparing for it and choosing the right moment to start instead of waiting until nothing could be done further,” Putin said.

After his victory, champion Oleksandr Usyk raised an authentic 17th-century saber of Hetman Ivan Mazepa
This marked the first time in boxing history that such an artifact was displayed directly in the ring. The Ministry of Culture noted that this gesture was not only a symbol of triumph but also a reminder to the world of the Ukrainian people’s centuries-long fight for freedom.
*Ivan Mazepa (1639–1709) was a Ukrainian Hetman and a key figure in the country’s struggle for independence. Known for allying with Sweden to resist Russian domination under Peter the Great, Mazepa symbolizes Ukraine’s centuries-long fight for sovereignty. His legacy remains especially relevant today, reflecting Ukraine’s enduring resistance against Russian aggression.
