KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday announced a military operation in Ukraine, claiming it’s intended to protect civilians. In a televised address, Putin said the action comes in response to threats coming from Ukraine.
The evidence that Russian troops had been massing at the Ukrainian border was overwhelming. Putin himself confirmed that there were troops, otherwise he couldn’t confirm that one unit was being withdrawn. So, yeah, the US and Ukrainian governments are quite believable in that regard.
