Ah yes, there were several russian or russian friendly blogers, youtubers etc who were saying that the conflict will end quickly, but i meant statements from officials.
Lavrov is saying that Ukraine stsrted it, as far as i know, because they started bombing Donetsk again. Do you remember Biden saying that russians will invade at 16 of February? Why this specific date? The answer is that this is when ukrainians started bombing Doneysk again... So Lavrov is kind of right. Kind of... Of course it was a russian invasion in general.
Thanks for the suggestion. Not one of my sources also...
