Focusing on president putin and the way she has been trying to distance himself. they are also focused on the fact that the americans have had to walk it back. so, i think there absolutely lands at the place of the russian saying, look, we told you, the west is against us, and this is one of the reasons why we have to rage the war in ukraine because from the russian official propaganda, this is a defensive, pre—emptive war, in order to make sure that russia itself is not then attacked, are the...
