Russian President refers to root cause of Ukrainian crisis
March 13, 2026Russian President Vladimir Putin referred to the root cause of the Ukrainian crisis in an interview with a journalist of the All-Russia State TV and Radio Broadcasting Company on March 8.
The Ukrainian crisis was caused by the Western countries’ support to the coup in Kiev, he said, adding that the crisis was caused not by any action of Russia but by the actions of the West including European countries.
He went on to say that everything going on in Ukraine can be said to be undoubtedly attributable to the systematic mistakes of Western countries.
The Kiev authorities are playing a trick on European countries, he said, adding sarcastically that the situation is very strange as it seems that the dog is being wagged by its tail rather than wagging it.
