Putin's Ukraine War Declaration Filmed In Advance? Video Metadata Says Yes
Russian President Vladimir Putin's declaration of war against neighbouring country Ukraine officially came in on February 24, 2022. But the video where Putin declares war on the former Soviet country tells a different story.
A planned invasion of Ukraine?
According to metadata of Putin's confirmation of Ukraine's invasion, the video was actually created on February 21 and not on February 24. What does this imply? That US President Joe Biden has been right all along about Russia's planned invasion of Ukraine. UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson also told BBC that Putin was planning "the biggest war in Europe since 1945."
?While Russia attempt to paint a well-intentioned picture of Ukraine's invasion, it appears that Putin has a long-drawn guidebook to take control of Ukraine. The video's metadata was fished out by users on Twitter who also noted other similarities with a different video released on February 21 that recognised Donetsk and Lugansk People¡¯s Republics - rebel territories in Ukraine.

?In the address, Putin had called for demilitarisation of Ukraine, urging the country's forces to lay down their weapons and that if any bloodshed were to take place, it would be on their conscience. Putin added how he wants to save Ukrainians from "genocide" that they had been subjected to under the current regime.?
?"Peaceful Ukrainian cities are under strikes. This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend itself and will win," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia conducted strikes "on our military infrastructure and our border guards."
