HA. Sometimes I think people forget how time works. That we did not watch russia make these statements in real time and somehow reddit would come into it as if its mere existence is an augment.
So link the statement
Here you go to start:
https://web.archive.org/web/20220308032650/http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67903
Parts to note:
"I would like to emphasise once again that our men and officers are fighting in Ukraine for Russia, for a peaceful life for the citizens of Donbass, and for the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine, so that no anti-Russia, which the West has been creating for years right on our border, can threaten us, including with nuclear weapons, as has recently become the case."
And the words "Take Kiev" are to be found...where?
How do you demilitarize a nation? After invading part of it?
Maybe take the capital and force change?
