The war Putin promised would never reach Russia has reached Siberia

In February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Russians that invading Ukraine was an act of self-defense. If NATO were left unchecked, he warned, Western missiles would soon be able to reach deep into Russia — past Volgograd, Kazan, Samara, even beyond the Ural Mountains.

Putin keeps saying Russia will fight until it achieves the ‘goals of the special military operation.’ But it’s not clear what those ‘goals’ even are.

Here are just some of those statements.
