OK, so now Russia is coming out saying that the goal the whole time was to simply "liberate" the Donbass region, and the only reason that they attacked on multiple fronts was to tie down Ukraine's military so they couldn't concentrate their forces in the east.
So in other words you are getting your asses kicked and now you are going to say that was your plan the whole time... Yeah right...
I think the only government better than the Russians at lying is the United States government. At least when the US government lies, about half the people believe it.
