Did Putin pre-record his war declaration speech? Video metadata reveals

war declaration

The tension between Ukraine and Russia has been a hot topic. However, Joe Biden’s fear of war declaration came to life when Russian President Putin declared war on Ukraine. The declaration came on February 24, 2022, but the video where Putin declares war on the former Soviet country tells a different story.

Pre-planned war?

If there was advance planning for the war and no, we do not know; but this definitely is not a conspiracy theory. Metadata of Putin’s war video reveals that the tape was filmed 3 days ago. Yes, the videotape declaring the attack is of February 21, 2022. So, what does this mean? That US President Joe Biden was completely correct in his assessment of Russia’s impending invasion of Ukraine. Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, recently warned the BBC that Putin is planning “the biggest war in Europe since 1945.”

While Russia attempts to portray the invasion of Ukraine as well-intentioned, it appears that Putin has a detailed plan in place to seize control of the country. Users on Twitter discovered the film’s metadata, as well as other parallels with a video produced on February 21 that recognized the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics as rebel regions in Ukraine.

War for nations’ peace or their pieces? 

However, in the address, Putin had called for the demilitarisation of Ukraine, urging the country’s forces to lay down their weapons and that if any bloodshed were to take place, it would be on their conscience. Putin added how he wants to save Ukrainians from the “genocide” that they had been subjected to under the current regime. 

“Peaceful Ukrainian cities are under strikes. This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend itself and will win,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter. The video’s revelation underscores how, in the case of a war, technology might aid in holding leaders like Putin accountable.
