Putin today: the prisoners I pardoned so they could join my former caterer's militia should please stop participating in his armed uprising against my defense ministry

Putin's speaking on Russian TV. He says he's launched a "special military operation" in the Donbas and isn't planning to occupy Ukraine. But he's demanding Ukraine's army lay down its weapons and says Kyiv will be responsible for "possible bloodshed." This is it.

"Some were so absurd at names and birth dates did not match the deceased."
"Many were very surprised to learn that they were allegedly deceased."
This letter is brutal.
