"I've never seen anything quite like this where systematically we have lied about everything involving Russia and Ukraine now for months if not years," he says. "The West led primarily by Washington and London has erected what I would call an empire of lies."

Putin's goal in seizing Crimea was to prevent that naval base from falling into the hands of NATO forces.
