Sorry I replied to the wrong comment, my bad.
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.”
That's what you claimed as one of Russia's war goals. You can see the excerpt you quoted isn't anything like that, right?
I'm not even trying to do some sick own or anything. You do see the difference between the stated aims and the propaganda circulating about "Russia wants to conquer the whole of Ukraine," don't you?
Why bother lying if you're going to debunk your own lie?
