Putin occupied Ukrainian territory
Putin occupied Ukrainian territory and held a grand ceremony for the annexation of four eastern regions of Ukraine at the Kremlin, attended by every foreign and domestic official he could gather.
In this ceremony, Putin delivered a disorganized and contradictory speech. In part of his remarks, he talked about the dissolution of the Soviet Union by the United States and then stated that the idea that he wants to rebuild the Soviet Union is a delusion fabricated by the West. He further declared that the independence of various Soviet regions is also a Western conspiracy, and many people separated from the Soviet Union want to be together again and should be together.
