Western leaders may have “goaded” Vladimir Putin into invading Ukraine, a former NATO chief claimed tonight
Giving evidence to the Commons Defence Select Committee, the alliance’s ex-Secretary-General Lord George Robertson said: “I just wonder whether or not - this is a radical thought for me to give you - did we goad him into doing it?
“Was he in fact assembling the troops around Ukraine in order to harvest some security guarantees, but at the end of the day felt that his own credibility would be diminished if he didn’t actually invade?”
