Recap of Putin's narrative:

Ukraine is a country of Russians waiting to be liberated, who deserve to have their energy infrastructure bombed, so they can freeze to death before the liberation, because they are led by a Jewish president who is somehow also a nazi who has recently sent his Islamic jihadist terrorists to gun down Russians in Moscow while screaming “allahu akbar”.

Imagine the briefing on Russian tv1, where the hosts are told to keep a straight face while delivering this message.
