2. What does the article mean by calling the declaration by President Vladimir Putin of Russia
'cynical" when it quotes his description of the invasion as a "special military operation" to
"demilitarize" Ukraine but not occupy the country?


Sagot :

The article calls this declaration by Putin cynical because the invasion was more than a special operation and would militarize Ukraine.

Why did the article say this?

Putin's invasion of Ukraine was done with around 100,000 soldiers which means that it is a full scale invasion and not a special operation.

Ukraine has also become heavily militarized as a result of so many soldiers being in it. Putin was therefore being cynical because he was oversimplifying and lying about his invasion.
