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.

Some people are on the edge as these threads are usually attacked by Kremlin propaganda trolls.
If they want to pay for weapons, fine.
Actually I would say that currently you are the most dedicated pro-Russia poster on FR.
You have lost some allies, like the KGB/FSB troll from Russia, that was posting as part of your group for a while.
I heard you the first time.
Do nothing that stands in the way of Russian aggression.
I’m sure they are. Who is that money going to? People as corrupt Putin most likely.
Again, a no win.
Even if we do get Russia to stop the invasion they will do it covertly. Then the money we give is still gone.
Shore up our boarders and military and Russia will still be nobodies.
“Actually I would say that currently you are the most dedicated pro-Russia poster on FR. You have lost some allies, like the KGB/FSB troll from Russia, that was posting as part of your group for a while.”
lol...
Projections, strawmen, accusations, Russians under every bed.
Dude, you really need some serious mental help.
So have you decided what rifle you are going to take with you go fight Putin? I’d want an FAL but logistically that would not be best. Maybe an M4 with an acog or a AK74.
When does your plane leave for Ukraine again?
Or were you just gonna sign over a few years worth of pay checks to help fund this?
I figure the latter is more your style since you seem like the kind who don’t like to get dirty.
So your pro-Russia buddy was lying about who he was?
” and they are conquering our neighbors to move their forces up to our borders.”
You need to post this immediately. Are they coming up through Mexico, or north from Canada? Which of our borders are they menacing?
So you really are a troll, anyone that supports America and NATO against Russian military goals and invasions must be able and willing to enlist in the Ukrainian Army?
Your posts are so incredibly childish and troll like.
You need to pick up a map and look at where our NATO borders are and where the conquest of Ukraine puts Russia.
My “buddy”??
You really do love the strawmen and projections.
Oh, you said OUR borders. I forgot I was a citizen of NATO
That’s the pot calling the kettle black.
I was only lamenting on how people love to talk war when its not their ass or money on the line.
Your assumptions on my support of the United States and NATO are what is childish and immature.
Oh, yeah, Ukraine is not in NATO.
wetphoenix was someone that you guys looked up to.
He was a respected asset and leader in your propaganda efforts, which of course makes sense, since that was why he signed up, here from Russia.
Putin was ex KGB/FSB himself and ran the FSB for a while.
“Shore up our boarders and military and Russia will still be nobodies.”
We both know that the problem with our border is not a lack of money.
“When does your plane leave for Ukraine again?”
So using your argument, when are you going to our border to shore it up?
That is another leftist argument, that pro-Americans, anti-Russian conservatives are fakes because they aren’t wearing the uniform of whichever nation is standing up to Russia at the time that the conservatives are opposing the invasion.
Russia is on the move, is invading Ukraine, and you have a side that you are supporting on this forum, as Russia conquers up to our NATO borders, and revives the Cold War and threatens nuclear attack.
“wetphoenix was someone that you guys looked up to.”
Can you do ANYTHING other than strawmen??
This is really getting boring.
This is a NATO versus Russia issue, and we are part of that NATO.
The military invasion you are currently supporting, is Russia moving up to our NATO borders.
I’ll be more than happy to patrol the boarder again. Did it already once down by I8 near elcentro. It’s hot in the day and chilly at night for sure but the stars in the sky are magnificent especially through nvg’s.
