announcement at roughly 6:00 a.m. Moscow time, 10:00 p.m. Eastern. The Russian dictator described the unprovoked attack as a “special military operation for the de-Militarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine.”
“I’ve made the decision to conduct a special military operation,” Putin said. “Our analysis has concluded that our confrontation with these forces [in Ukraine] was inevitable.”
“As for the military sphere, modern
Russia, even after the collapse of the USSR and the loss of a
significant part of its nuclear potential, is today one of the most
powerful nuclear powers. And moreover, it has certain advantages in a
number of the latest types of weapons. In this regard, no one should
have any doubt that a direct attack on Russia will lead to defeat and
dire consequences for a potential aggressor,” he said, making it clear
that he was threatening nuclear retaliation against the U.S. and NATO if
they interfere with his attack on Ukraine." Breitbart
