Putin slams Ukraine's Kursk incursion as 'major provocation'

Vladimir Putin has accused Kyiv of launching a “major provocation”, after Moscow claimed that some 300 Ukrainian soldiers, supported by tanks and armoured vehicles, had launched a cross-border attack into the Kursk region.

Speaking ahead of a meeting of the security council in Moscow on Wednesday, the Russian president also accused Ukrainian forces of “firing indiscriminately” at civilian buildings and residences.

" How dare Ukraine fight back."

hmmm. Russia attacks neighbor. Not an escalation. Neighbor fights back=escalation.

a slight logic issue, it seems.

I've never heard anyone who has started an international conflict claim to be the victim quite as much as poor Sadimir Pootin.
'The people that we've been trying to eradicate from the face of the Earth have been _really_ horrible to us' 😭

And Russia invading Ukraine isn't a "major provocation?"

[nzygwbw]

Maybe Russia invading Ukraine was seen as a "major provocation?" I'm happy to see Ukraine bringing the fight to Russia and not just playing defense.

The victim hits the bully and the bully cries "no-fair". 😅

[Chi_Chi]

WTF! Major provocation, as opposed to what, you INVADING their country?

[sparkyinsertnamehere]

'indiscriminate shelling'? Oh no, I thought only the Russians were allowed to do that?

[ennius]

The Russia invasion of Ukraine is also a ‘major provocation’.

[nex-ex]

It's almost like he doesn't like his own medicine?

[felipellorad]

Now you can feel how hard it is to be invaded.

[ehbcd]

Major provocation? What does he think invading Ukraine for a second time is? Russia destroyed entire cities and targeted hospitals, he has the nerve to complain about what Ukraine has targeted.

[michaelburgess]

The irony is only lost on Putin and his lackies 😂

[jhayrjy]

So invading Ukraine is not major provocations for him, this man should be in mental hospital.

[anselmdanker]

Well you Herr Putin - have been doing that for 890 days 😂

[EBJMM]

It's a Ukraine Special Military Operation

[stop]

He's talking and walking a bit quicker than usual. Maybe he's starting to realise it's not going to plan.

This ridiculous and hypocritical argument reminds me of almost every argument I have with my wife.

[Hafenkasper]

Oh, that's not nice. We just wanted to play War on Ukrainian Territory. I call my Mom.
