Putin occupied Ukrainian territory
Putin occupied Ukrainian territory and held a grand ceremony for the annexation of four eastern Ukrainian regions at the Kremlin, attended by every foreign and domestic official he could gather.
In this ceremony, Putin delivered a disorganized speech full of contradictions. In part of his speech, he discussed 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 then declared that the independence of various Soviet regions is also a Western conspiracy and that many people separated from the Soviet Union want to be together again and should be together.
