Russia officially declares war
Kremlin has officially declared Russia is in a ‘state of war’ following the West’s intervention in Ukraine
Kremlin said: “We are now in a state of war, and everyone must understand this. And we will continue to work so that Ukraine’s military capabilities do not pose a threat to our security. Russia is at war because of the West’s intervention in Ukraine. We cannot allow the presence of any country on our borders that threatens to control Crimea.”
NWN understands that Putin hasn’t made a formal declaration of war since unleashing the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine involving hundreds of thousands of his troops. He calls it instead a “special military operation,” while criminal penalties for “discrediting” the army have been used against journalists and others who’ve labeled it a war.
