President Vladimir Putin has compared himself to Peter the Great, saying he shares the 18th century czar's goal of returning "Russian Lands" to a Grater Empire.
Speaking after visiting an exhibition to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Peter's birth, Putin drew a parallel to his invasion of Ukraine.
"Peter the Great waged the Great Northern War for 21 years". It would seem that he was at war with Sweden, he took something from them, according to Reuters: "He did not take anything from them, he returned them."
Referring to the Ukraine invasion he said: "Apparently, it also fell to us to return what is Russia's and strengthen the country. And if we proceed from the fact that these basic values form the basis of our existence we shall certainly succeed in solving the tasks that we face.
After reading this rigmarole expressed by the ridiculous Russian president I feel extremely sorry for our dear friends, the Ukrainians, who have to face a terrible and mad invader.
