Long on rhetoric, short on revelations. What Putin's Ukraine comments told us
CNN
The press conference that followed Russian President Vladimir Putin's five-hour meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban Tuesday was long on rhetoric but short on new facts: The Kremlin leader aired many of his longstanding grievances, but declined to point the way to an exit from the tense international standoff over Ukraine.
It's a script Putin has read from before. In concluding remarks, he complained about what he characterized as NATO's history of deceptions, saying the alliance had previously promised to expand "not an inch" eastward.
"They said one thing, they did another," Putin said. "As people say, they screwed us over, well they simply deceived us."
