According to him, in Kyiv, they were saying they might get nuclear weapons and NATO started exploring the lands close to Russia.
“In Kyiv, they were saying they might get nuclear weapons and NATO started exploring the lands close to us and that became an obvious threat to our country and to our borders. Everything was telling us that there is a need to fight,” Putin said.

Several casualties have already been recorded as a result of the war.
