The President of Russian Federation,Vladimir Putin has balmed the Ukraine and the West for an ongoing war between his country and Ukraine which commenced last year on 24 February 2022.
Putin was addressing Russian nation ahead of the one-year anniversary of his invasion of Ukraine which claimed thousands of innocent lives and displaced millions of Ukrainians who ran to neighbouring countries for safety.
His speech came one day after a US President Joe Biden visited embattled Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in the capital city of Ukraine,Kiev to give him a support against Russian invasion.
In his speech Russian President maintained that Ukraine started the war and his country was supposed to end it,and he lambasted the West for fuelling more war against Russia using Ukraine.
Biden was seen sitting with Zelensky at Mariinskyi where they discussed a way forward on how to defeat a stubborn Putin's military which is busy shelling different villages,cities and towns around the Eastern Ukraine.
Biden failed even to mince his words when he talked about Russian invasion failures to capture the Ukraine.
"Putin thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided," said President Joe Biden.
"He thought he could outlast us.I don't think he is thinking that right now," he continued.
During his visit on Ukraine,President Biden announced a new delivery of critical equipment for Ukraine,he announced that US is going to send artillery ammunition,anti-armor systems,and air surveillance radars to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments.
