Original Note:
On 24 February 2022, at 5:30 am, Putin made a televised announcement and clearly stated: "I decided to conduct a special military operation". Implying that the United States pressured Ukraine to start the Russo-Ukrainian war is incompatible with reality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_conducting_a_special_military_operation#:~:text=Putin%20announced%20that%20Russia%20was,of%20the%20United%20Nations%20Charter. https://youtu.be/BpYowSHNM1Y?si=nxltKkLvQJZVhy8V
