According to Putin, "the current government in Kyiv has to realise that if they continue to behave like this, they will endanger the future of Ukraine’s statehood. And if this happens it will be entirely their responsibility."

Details: Putin also said that there are attempts to "sow disarray among the Russian society."

Putin noted that the consequences of NATO’s potential conflict with Russia "are clear to everyone."

Russian soldiers fighting this war, according to their president, are "fighting for the future."

Putin also stated that the Western sanctions against Russia "appear similar to a declaration of war, but this has not yet happened."

Reminds me of a meme I saw.

Putin: Let me in!

Ukraine: Why?

Putin: So I can save you.

Ukraine: From what?

Putin: From what I'm going to do to you if you don't let me in.

Edit: the Meme.
