White House: Putin's speech was absurd and disinfectant

White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki said Putin's speech was a revisionist story that took the form of dezinformation.

What we saw that President Putin did is give a version of the revisional history that took the form of deinformation that we have seen very often as the book of Russian games. Now, what's lucky is that we are all aware, journalists around the world are aware, Europeans are aware, Americans are aware, of the dezinformation plant that seems to be President Putin and the Kremlin, but the suggestion that this war that was driven by Western plans is openly false and absurdly --” said at a news conference.

Russia resisted aggression as a precaution -- this was the only correct decision, Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier today.

Addressing the Victory Parade at the Red Square in Moscow, he said NATO was expanding its military infrastructure, that hundreds of foreign advisers had started working and that the latest weapons from NATO countries had been delivered regularly.

The threat was growing every day. Russia resisted aggression in a way that prevented aggression was a binding, timely and single correct decision of a sovereign, strong and independent state,” said Putin.
