During his speech, Putin said "Ukraine has never had its own authentic statehood" and demanded that "those who captured and are holding on to power in Kyiv" immediately "cease military action."

| 0:41.0 | This is Tangle. |
| 0:43.2 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking without all that hysterical nonsense you find everywhere else. |
| 1:04.8 | I am your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we are going to be talking about Russia and Ukraine. |
| 1:10.3 | Again, I know we have covered |

| 2:08.6 | So it was specifically designed to rebut Soviet aggression and lasted through the collapse of the |
| 2:13.8 | Soviet Union into the present day. So this is kind of an odd one because it's not |
