“What is happening in Ukraine is a tragedy, but Alexander Grigoryevich [Lukashenko] rightly said: there was no choice left. There was simply no choice, the only question was when it would start. That’s all”, Putin said.

Vladimir Putin made this decision after the escalation of the conflict in the Donbass and requests for help from the Heads of the LDPR.
