During the interview with Tucker Carlson, Russian leader Vladimir Putin stated that the war in Ukraine “did not start in 2022,” but rather was a result of a 2014 coup in the country, directly backed by the CIA.
Putin recalled the moment he decided he had to invade, noting “initially it was the coup in Ukraine that provoked the conflict.”
Putin claimed that a decade ago the United States proposed a joint effort to for a diplomatic settlement in Ukraine and the then President Yanukovich agreed not to deploy troops or police. However, an armed opposition, which Putin alleges was run by the CIA, orchestrated a coup in Kiev.
Putin further stated that “the representatives of three countries, Germany, Poland, and France, arrived. They were the guarantors of the signed agreement. Despite that, the opposition committed a coup and all of these countries pretended that they didn’t remember they were guarantors of the peaceful settlement.”
He continued, “President Yanukovich agreed to all conditions which included holding an early election he had no chance of winning”, Putin stated, adding “Why the coup? Why the victims? Why threaten Crimea? Why threaten the Donbas? That’s what I don’t understand.”
“The CIA did its job to complete the coup,” he continued, adding “The political mistake was colossal. All this could be done without victims.”
Putin went on to slam NATO, saying that it continually defied Russia’s demands not to expand closer to Russian territory.
“We never agreed to NATO’s expansion and we never agreed Ukraine would be in NATO”, he said, adding “For decades we kept asking, ‘don’t do this, don’t do that.'”
“The current Ukraine leadership said it would not implement the current Minsk agreements where a plan for the peaceful settlement in Donbas was set forth,” Putin further stated, adding “Ukraine officials said they did not like anything about the Minsk agreements, in other words, they were not going to implement it… they simply led us by the nose”
Elsewhere in the interview, Putin also claimed that the CIA destroyed the Nordstream pipeline, stating “It is clear to the whole world what happened then. Even American analysts talk about it directly. It’s true.”
Putin’s CIA comments come in the wake of former CIA agent Jack Devine predicting that the Russian president will soon be overthrown in a ‘Black Swan’ palace coup.
Elsewhere in the interview, Putin suggested that former British Prime Minster Boris Johnson was instrumental in sabotaging peace negotiations.
Putin also brutally mocked Joe Biden, saying he has no reason to talk to the US president and that he warned Biden before the invasion that the US was making a “mistake of historic proportions” by acting in lockstep with NATO over Ukraine.

It’s all there in Oliver Stone’s documentary “Ukraine on Fire”…
Non of this is news to anyone paying attention. Western leaders, paid off by the weapon makers engineer forever wars and as hundreds of thousands of bodies pile high they distract us with whether men can get pregnant or not. FFS!
Wouldn’t be the first time!
You’d have to be a complete moron if you would take the words of Mr. Putin seriously.
The morons are those who have been believing the daily debunked Biden administration. This CIA project has been documented for years. Wikileaks also exposed it. Plenty of other criminal projects as well such as illegal biolabs, bribery payouts, money laundering, list goes on. For years Ukraine has been near the top of UN and other most corrupt nations lists.
He is a heck of a lot more credible than Mr. Biden.
Interesting how using the word Ukraine triggers some moderators
It’s not even a secret. Lidnsey Graham and John McCain posed for pics with the AZOV Brigade when the uniforms still had the swaztika. Geez dude, do a search for the 2014 Ukrainian coup. You’re either very young or you were living under a rock to have missed it.
Yes, the CIA overthrew the democratically elected president of Ukraine because he refused to break a treaty with Russia and stop UN expansion.
Tucker Carlson has the audacity to commit an act of journalism and the people most angry are the ones that try to pass themselves off as journalists. You can’t make this stuff up.
