Putin recalled the cause of the Ukrainian crisis

The Ukrainian crisis arose because of the West's support for the coup d'etat in Kiev, and it all started from there. This was announced on March 8 by Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with the Vesti news agency.

"After all, where did the same Ukrainian crisis originate from? It arose from Western countries' support for the coup in Ukraine, and then the Crimean events, and then in the south-east of Ukraine, in general, Donbass, Novorossiya. That's where it all started. That's where it all came from," the Russian leader said.
