Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian army was a NATO legion, the goal of which was not to pursue national interests of Ukraine, but to contain Russia geopolitically.
"We often say: the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian army. In fact, who is fighting there? There are official units of the armed forces there indeed, partly, but largely, there are so-called nationalist volunteer battalions," Putin said while interacting with students at the National Mineral University in St. Petersburg.
"In fact, this is not an army, but a foreign legion, in this case, a NATO foreign legion, which, of course, does not pursue to protect Ukraine's national interests. They have different goals, and they are connected with objectives of geopolitical containment of Russia, which does not coincide with the national interests of the Ukrainian people," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

Support Ukraine and not propagandize for the Russian Army as they invade Ukraine.
Who’s running propaganda? What kind of support?
Well, since you are now in support of Ukraine and against Russia, you don’t need to worry about that.
You can just back the support that you hear about us giving Ukraine as it comes up on threads.
For instance on this thread, you can disagree with Putin rather than appearing to be supporting him, on other threads you can not seem to be opposing supporting Ukraine.
or you can play like a little cutesy troll.
You have to understand how this works...
If you aren’t willing to swallow the most hateful, wildly Orwellian propaganda, if you don’t “jump to it” and dare to think for yourself, you are a “Moskal”, or a Putinista, Russian troll, yada, yada, yada...
Replace “putinista” with “Racist”, and it sounds just like the crap the Soros/OFA/SEIU trolls were pushing for Obama.
(In reality, they are many of the same people!)
This crap has been going on for a YEAR...
Oh, I must tow the line?
Because I’m not pro Ukraine I must be pro Putin?
How close minded.
Show me once where I ever mentioned supporting Putin.
I have always stated we should not get involved. Not because I support Putin, but because I don’t trust those in charge of Ukraine.
Talk about a tripled.
Javelins and counter battery radars.
Troll
Very good analogy.
You gonna pay for it?
No, just quit playing cutesy and wasting people’s time, which you are.
You are playing games.
Your position is to let Russia take Ukraine without the West doing anything, no money, no arms, no nothing, that sounds like you do have a side since the question is Russia invading Ukraine to enslave it and move their Army up to our NATO borders.
You are one of our most dedicated pro-Russia posters, you aren’t indifferent to this, you are a passionate poster on behalf of Russia.
Even Ukraine can pay for it if money is your concern. So far Obama has denied them things that go bang.
Give me a friggen break.
We can’t be world police.
You want to help them so bad? Then grab a rifle, hop a plane and fight.
Until then, you stop playing cutesy.
I feel for the people of Ukraine but we need to put our foot down on when we stop throwing money away on nation building.
I’d be down for that. They would need to put some money down and I wouldn’t even charge them interest on the rest.
Does that make me pro-Ukraine enough for some of you?
“Your position is to let Russia take Ukraine without the West doing anything,”
You sure do love your strawmen...
So you do oppose anything that would hinder Russia conquering Ukraine and moving their troops up to our NATO borders.
That sounds like a pretty firm endorsement of Putin’s military strategy, to become a threat to us again.
And you do have a passion to fight for Putin and Russian military goals.
More strawmen??
Really???
You like to accuse, but I take it you don’t own a mirror?
Your argument is silly because the US and IMF is already giving Ukraine money. The point is that if you deny them weapons there may not be a Ukraine that will one day pay the money back.
“And you do have a passion to fight for Putin and Russian military goals.”
LOl!!
Now you are just getting nutty...
Are you 12 yrs old?
