Putin: 'The only way to peace.'

Putin 'Signing of Treaties' speech, September 30, 2022.

I want the Kiev authorities and their true handlers in the West to hear me now, and I want everyone to remember this: the people living in Lugansk and Donetsk, in Kherson and Zaporozhye have become our citizens, forever.

We call on the Kiev regime to immediately cease fire and all hostilities; to end the war it unleashed back in 2014 and return to the negotiating table. We are ready for this, as we have said more than once. But the choice of the people in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson will not be discussed. The decision has been made, and Russia will not betray it. Kiev’s current authorities should respect this free expression of the people’s will; there is no other way. This is the only way to peace.

15. Ukrainian soldiers are also dying

And Russia has 3 1/2 times as many people as Ukraine. If this degenerates into a war of attrition, Russia has the upper hand. Reliable figures on military casualties are not easy to come by, but I keep in mind the old axiom that the first casualty of war is the truth. We cheer every report that tells of a stunning Ukrainian victory, but getting a clear picture of reality there is impossible. Russians are not the only ones in the meat grinder.

Does he really believe Ukraine started this war when they overthrew Yanukoyvitch?

He believes his own bullshit. Always the victim.
