Putin: Kiev coup is one of the main reasons for Ukraine’s war – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is currently being held in China, called Western efforts to add Kiev to NATO one of the main reasons for the Ukrainian war, according to the Mehr News Agency.

Putin emphasized that the Ukrainian crisis was largely created by the year’s coup in Kiev, which happened with the West.

The second reason for this crisis is the Western efforts to attract Ukraine in NATO, he said. As we have emphasized many times, such an event is considered a direct threat to Russian security.

According to the Russian president, as a result of the coup of the year, “the political organization that did not support Ukraine’s accession to NATO was eliminated.”

This year’s meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization begins yesterday- August 6- in Tianjin in northern China and will continue until today- September 1.
