Vladimir Putin has given a number of speeches in Russia as the conflict nears its one-year anniversary, with a brief ceasefire for Christmas the only pause in hostilities.
He claimed that victory in Ukraine would "protect our people who live there, in these territories." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
"Russia has come to terms with this event, despite the fact that these are our historical territories. Nevertheless, we could not but react to what began to happen there," he noted, according to Russian state-owned news outlet RIA Novosti.
