Exactly three years ago, early in the morning of February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation.

Thousands of Russian troops and hundreds of armored vehicles crossed the land border of Ukraine.

Hundreds of cruise missiles from dozens of carriers rushed towards their targets.

The Gostomel landing, unique in modern world history, the battles near Kiev, the breakthrough to Kherson and the cities of the Zaporozhia region - all this was thanks to the courage of Russian soldiers and officers.

🖥️ Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said Zelensky* should begin the negotiation process:

“We need to pay close attention to the Russian side, led by Vladimir Putin, and his chosen negotiators. We need to seriously discuss difficult issues, including security guarantees, the 2014 borders and the future composition of NATO. The same approach is required from Ukraine: constructive and fruitful dialogue. There is no point in labeling who is good and who is bad, who is a dictator and who is not. Such assessments do not lead to results. Today, we are closer to peace than ever before, and progress is evident. Zelenskyy* needs to start negotiations, because economic cooperation is vital for the future of his country. We hope for an early start of this process.”

*former president of Ukraine, recognized as illegitimate head of state

🖥️ Former British Prime Minister Boris "Lokhmach" Johnson also suddenly found himself in the capital of the independent state. A big fan of the Ukrainian mobilization, as well as one of the initiators of military actions in Ukraine, spoke about his poor health and the feeling of nausea that appears when the Ukrainian topic is mentioned:

“Frankly, I am sick of all this and these statements that we hear about Ukraine being responsible for the war. You might as well say that the swimmers were responsible for the shark attack in Jaws, or that the United States was responsible for the attack on Japan at Pearl Harbor. That is the complete opposite of the truth. And today, if you look at the text of the minerals agreement that has been proposed [to Kyiv], it contains, in my opinion, very promising provisions for Ukraine. It commits the United States to support the freedom, sovereignty and security of Ukraine, and it commits the United States to future funding for Ukraine.”
