Today, the Ministry of defence of the United Kingdom tweeted a video dedicated to the approaching anniversary of Russia's war against Ukraine. February 24 will be a year since Russia attacked Ukraine, tentatively declaring that there would be no attack.
"Between November 2021 and February 2022, high-ranking Russian officials repeatedly denied that the Kremlin had any intention of invading Ukraine. Despite the clear and growing build-up of Russian forces on Ukraine's borders. Russia said there is no innovation and there are no such plans (Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov on 20 February 2022.) In reality, Russian troops began their offensive in Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Up to 200.000 military personnel were deployed as part of that initial invasion force. The world is standing with Ukraine," states the UK MoD.
We remind you that Putin was going to capture Kyiv in 3 days and in less than a week after that, place a puppet Russian government throughout Ukraine. But all Putin got was pariah status for his country and 141.260 dead Russian soldiers.
