According to the Russian leader, Ukraine has been turned into anti-Russia for years.

“Then they brought it to a direct clash, pushed Ukraine into a direct confrontation with Russia. Such plans, including a military attack on the Crimea and Donbass, were, unfortunately, described in Ukrainian doctrines,” noted Vladimir Putin.

The Russian leader also believes that Ukraine has become a ‘consumable material’ for Europe in its fight against the Russian Federation.
