Putin Blames Ukraine 'Coup' For 2022 Invasion, Accuses West Of Triggering Conflict | SCO Summit | 4K

In his address to the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in Tianjin, China, Putin defended his Ukraine offensive, blaming the West for triggering the three-and-a-half year conflict that has killed tens of thousands and devastated much of eastern Ukraine. "This crisis wasn't triggered by Russia's attack on Ukraine, but was a result of a coup in Ukraine, which was supported and provoked by the West," said Putin. "The second reason for the crisis is the West's constant attempts to drag Ukraine into NATO," the Russian president added. Putin also said he had reached understandings during his summit with US President Donald Trump at a summit in August that open a way to find a resolution to the crisis in Ukraine. n18oc_crux
