Putin says Russia has done everything to resolve situation in Donbas by peaceful means

Russia has done everything to resolve the situation around Donbass by peaceful means, but this was by definition impossible, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday at a meeting with veterans of the Great Patriotic War and residents of the Siege of Leningrad.

He said Russia could not help but react to the events in Ukraine since 2014, including the extermination of the Russian-speaking population.

“We have been patient for a long time, trying to negotiate for a long time. As it turns out now, they were just leading us around by the nose, deceiving us. This is not the first time this has happened to us. Nevertheless, we did our best to resolve the situation peacefully. It has now become obvious that this was, by definition, impossible,” Putin stated.
