I like how Putin stopped Tucker in his tracks at the very beginning and said "you studied history, right? May I provide a 1 minute history of Russia?" Tucker obliges. 15 minutes later, Putin is still talking history of Russia. Classic!
I had to stop listening as my wife got home. Putin is essentially making the assertion that many of the Ukrainians are ethnically Russians which I have heard before. Tucker is asking why did it take Putin 20+ years to act. Well, many of us already know about the bio labs in Ukraine and such. Timing is everything. This is a worldwide effort by Trump, Putin, and others; some 34 countries, memory serving.
Putins explains that he didn’t fail to act, rather they were constantly making negations with the west and Ukraine for example in Istanbul and later the Minsk accords, but that they consistently didn’t honor the agreements. He says the west was “leading them by the nose”

That is consistent with what I remember. Thanks!
