Ukraine and Russia: Vladimir Putin's enraged speech "rewrites Ukraine's history"

After a few hours of talks about holding a summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin went out to the world on Monday night in a televised speech from the Kremlin and delivered a speech full of anger, historical grievances, and defiance of the West.

This speech highlighted the image of an angry, impatient, and threatening Putin directly. The Russian president seemed to shake off the weight of 20 years of abuse and return it to its owners.

"You didn't want us to be friends," Putin tells the West. "But at the same time, you didn't have to antagonize us."

Putin's speech contained a lot of what we've heard before, but he bounced back and made one sentence knowing that the whole world was listening

Putin's speech confirmed his intention not to compromise on any of his security demands that NATO enlargement should be reconsidered and that Ukraine's membership in the alliance was a red line.

Putin believes that Russia's demands have been ignored for years, accusing the West of trying to "lock" Russia as a resurgent global power.

Putin's intense talk about Ukraine sparked an obsession with acquisitions; The Russian leader seemed to be talking about a small thing. In the course of the conversation, Putin seemed to make an offer to escape to the Ukrainian president, in some detail.

In his speech, Putin put forward new writing of his brainchild for the history of Ukraine, claiming that it was never a state in the true sense. Which looms in this context a very bad omen.

And in recognizing the two separatist-held areas of Ukraine, which may mean the explicit and urgent entry of Russian forces - the entry of so-called "peacemakers". Or perhaps Putin is waiting to see first how his opponents respond.

Whatever the reaction, Ukraine is the battlefield. But we are also facing a game of "edge of the abyss" between Russia and the West - a game whose events are rapidly moving towards confrontation.
