  • "Ukraine has cleansed schools of the Russian language", Putin said.
  • "Ukraine placed their bets on aggression. They are sending saboteurs to attack critical infrastructure. We have proof of this. They want to drag foreign states into a conflict between Russia and Ukraine," Putin added.
  • "They want the military support of the world community against the Russian Federation and want armed support of conflict against Russia," Putin said.
  • "They want to build a nuclear bomb and still have the technology from the Soviet Union so it will be easier for them than other countries trying to develop one", said Putin.
  • "Ukraine having weapons of mass destruction with Western backers is another threat to Russia security."
