I'm interested to know your take on Putin's admission that the soldiers in unmarked uniforms who took control of Ukrainian military facilities in Crimea were actually Russian troops
Admission of what? Maybe, admission of the Black Sea Fleet existence? Well... Maybe it sounds surprising but these troops are stationed there since 18 century.
despite denying for months that this was the case during and after the events.
Denying? Are you serious or it's just some kind of weird joke? Sorry, I'm asking because I really can't understand your intentions. If you're serious then tell me, please, what do you see on this picture.
I bet you've never seen it in the BBC reports.
You can't just dismiss this as propaganda when the the statement comes from his own mouth.
Don't invent the propaganda and there won't be a necessity to dismiss it. Yep, it's really simple as the piece of cake. It's time to read The 1997 Black Sea Fleet Agreement, which obliges Black Sea Fleet to assist the local authorities in case of emergency situation. Another recommendation is to follow something except BBC or Gazeta Wyborcza. Then you would know what's really happening behind your window.
I am talking specifically about the instance referred to in the news report posted in the OP about the documentary that aired on a Russian state TV. See, the problem is if it doesn't prove you right, you don't read it. That's why you stopped reading your own source that ultimately proved you wrong about Russia invading Sweden's airspace- because you thought it proved you right, so you didn't bother to read the rest of it. I'm not talking about the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, I'm talking about those soldiers who were wearing ambiguous green uniforms and were hoisting Russian flags up at the military installations as Ukrainian forces abandoned them. As the West was saying those were Russian soldiers, Putin at the time said they weren't Russians. A month later, he said they were Russians, and he sent them there.
My only motivation is trying to gain a perspective other than what is commonly portrayed in the western media, as you keep asking people to do, that's why I asked your take on it as someone who is clearly pro-Russia. but you're so concerned with spinning this into something else to prove you're right about everything that it's clear that if I want an understanding of the other side, I need to get it from someone who is more level-headed or doesn't have so much invested in proving everything critical of Russia is propaganda.
There was no propaganda here to dismiss, there was Putin saying "those guys aren't Russians" only to later say "Yeah, they were Russians and I sent them there," and then me asking you how do you reconcile what turns out to be lies ("those guys aren't Russians") with what is currently coming out of the Kremlin in order to get to the truth?
