As Russia invades Ukraine, Putin tries to justify the country’s actions. He repeated debunked claims of genocide against ethnic Russians in Ukraine, and claimed that Russia has no intention to take over Ukraine. The Russian President claimed that "We simply weren’t left with any options to peacefully solve the problems arising through no fault of ours.” At the same time, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed US Congress, and showed the outcome of the brutal invasion; death, displacement, and destruction.
