Putin declares Ukraine historically part of Russia in possible justification for invasion
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine is an integral part of Russia historically, arguing it was a mistake for Soviet leaders such as Nikita Khruschev to give the country an independent identity.
"For some reason Khruschev gave Ukraine separate status," Putin said during remarks at a security council meeting Monday. "Why did we have to be so generous and then give these Republics the right to leave. Madness!"
Putin argued that it was a fact that Ukraine was created by Soviet Russia and Vladimir Lenin, but has now been reduced to a "colony" that is government by foreign powers such as the U.S., who control the government from their Embassy in Kiev.
The remarks come as fears continue to build that Putin may be lining up a justification to invade Ukraine.

I guess Putin is just trying to justify invasion.
