President Vladimir Putin quoted Soviet-era punk rock lyrics about rape and necrophilia to demonstrate what Russia wants from Ukraine. Putin made the comment in a press conference Monday following a five-hour meeting with Emmanuel Macron, in which the French president tried to convince Putin to find a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis. Russia has deployed 130,000 troops at Ukraine’s border, with US officials warning that an invasion could come any day. At the joint press conference, Putin blamed NATO and the West for provoking Russia, and said Ukraine must be made to implement elements of the Minsk Protocol — a 2014 ceasefire agreement to end fighting between Ukraine and Russia-backed separatists in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
