Russian President Vladimir Putin wore clothes that suggested his speech may have been pre-taped.

In a video that aired early Thursday morning in Russia, Putin said he decided to launch a special military action against Ukraine.

During a televised address on Monday, Putin wore the same outfit as he denounced the sovereignty of Ukraine and announced military intervention in eastern Ukraine.

The videos were filmed with Putin sitting at the same table, wearing the same outfit as in the other video, a black blazer, white shirt, and maroon tie.

There was speculation that the declaration of a military assault against Ukraine was taped earlier.

Some analysts thought they found proof that the address was pre-taped.

Aric Toler, an analyst with the publication Bellingcat, said that this was based on data from a different video, and that the Kremlin video's data showed a creation date of February 24, leaving it unclear when the video was filmed.

Other elements of Russia's actions on Ukraine have been scrutinized for discrepancies. The documents requesting aid from Russia were signed the day before they were made public.

The Security Council meeting in Moscow on February 23 was recorded for five hours before it was broadcast.

Sergiy Kyslytsya, the ambassador to the UN from Ukraine, delivered a response to Putin at the Security Council late on Wednesday night.

Kyslytsya said that your president declared war on Ukraine about 48 minutes ago.

Ukrainian officials said the country was being targeted by airstrikes hours after Putin made the declaration.

  • The Ukrainian military is ready to fight. Zelenskiy is ready to fight. He called up the reserves today. He has declared a state of emergency. He has prepared his country to fight. Russian President Putin has united Ukrainians against him, he said, adding that he wants his territory back. He has created a hostile nation on his border. Taylor said he was sure that the Ukrainian military was prepared to fight back against the Russian army. If he tried to go all the way to achieve his military, he could probably do that after a fight. He couldn't hold it. He said that he thinks he can get into Ukraine, but will be driven out, and that he is still hoping for a diplomatic solution. We should make the military of Ukraine able to resist him so that he knows if he sends his soldiers into battle, they will fight hard and they will fight well.
