“Is it fair to lie to our faces about NATO not expanding, and then expand it anyway?” Putin asked, referring to assurances given to Russia in the 1990s.
RT reports: He also criticized the 2014 US-backed Maidan coup in Ukraine –which ousted the country’s democratically elected president Victor Yanukovich – saying it was a violation of international law. He added that it had led directly to the ongoing conflict between Kiev and Moscow.
“There is no justice here,” Putin remarked. “We want to change this situation. And we will achieve it.”
