To all politicians, experts and journos in US and EU who write that "Putin is trapped", "he needs a decent off ramp from the military campaign in Ukraine", etc., I strongly recommend watching the video of his conversation with young entrepreneurs and scientists today. 1/5

Vladimir Putins speech on Ukraine did not happen at 20-00 as it was announced, and it not clear when it will be aired. Journalists from the Kremlin pool were writing just half an hour ago that they are "waiting", but it does not seem like something is to happen today

He is assertive, cool-headed and absolutely selfconfident. And sure of his mission which he finally stated in plain text: "Peter the Great led the Northern War for 21 years. It would seem that he fought with Sweden, captured land… He didn't capture it, he returned it!" 3/5
