Putin cries foul; accuses US of trying to push Russia into war with Ukraine

After amassing around 100,000 troops all around the Ukrainian border – dishing out a list of unacceptable demands, and seeing the West’s strong response towards Russia’s uncalled-for aggression – Russian President Vladimir Putin has started crying foul.

Putin is now accusing the United States for pitting his country against Ukraine on purpose so that sanctions could be imposed. He said the US was also denying Russian concerns of the NATO presence in eastern Europe.

As Russia began the movement of about 100,000 troops to the Ukrainian border. US and NATO forces started their assessments and intelligence reports strongly suggested of a planned invasion.

After months of warnings, Western forces began their countermeasures and initiated the medical & military aid response to Ukraine which Russia did not like.

In response, Russia flexed its muscles and handed out a list of demands which no country had the power to accept.

In another major blow to it, NATO troops were alerted for possible conflict even though their deployment was another debate.

As warnings of devastating sanctions grew, Vladimir Putin who was flexing his muscles was sent on the backfoot and has now resorted to blaming the US even though he still has the ability to call the shots for an invasion at any time.

UK intelligence reports also suggested that Putin can at anytime start a controlled-revolution inside Ukraine to place a pro-Russian leader in Kyiv. His agents and sleeper cells have long been inside the country and are waiting for the right time, and of course orders.

With violence erupting within Ukraine, Russia would get the ability to “intervene” militarily like it did in Kazakhstan.

The West clearly stated that it is up to Ukraine to decide – not Russia – whether it wants to join the alliance or not.

Russian troops are at the border, they have the equipment, they have the tanks, they have the setup and are just waiting for the orders.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has already stated that this war would not be limited “between Ukraine and Russia,” but all of Europe because of one man’s Soviet Union dreams.

The US has been constantly trying to convince Russia to avoid an unnecessary war, but the final call will be made by one man – Vladimir Putin.

We’re committed to preventing a conflict that is in no one’s interest but ready to impose severe costs if Russia further invades Ukraine.
