🤡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.
