\u201cThe trick of the situation was that outwardly the [Ukrainian] opposition was supported mostly by the Europeans. But we knew for sure that the real masterminds were our American friends,\u201dPutin said in a documentary, \u2018Crimea \u2013 The Way Home,\u2019 aired by Rossiya 1 news channel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey helped training the nationalists, their armed groups, in Western Ukraine, in Poland and to some extent in Lithuania,\u201d he added. \u201cThey facilitated the armed coup.\u201d<\/p>\n
The West spared no effort to prevent Crimea\u2019s reunification with Russia, \u201cby any means, in any format and under any scheme,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
Putin said this approach was far from being the best dealing with any country, and a post-Soviet country like Ukraine specifically. Such countries have a short record of living under a new political system and remain fragile. Violating constitutional order in such a country inevitably dealt a lot of damage to its statehood, the president said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law was thrown away and crashed. And the consequences were grave indeed. Part of the country agreed to it, while another part wouldn\u2019t accept it. The country was shattered,\u201d Putin explained.<\/p>\n
He also accused the beneficiaries of the coup of planning an assassination of then-President Viktor Yanukovich. Russia was prepared to act to ensure his escape, Putin said. \u201cI invited the heads of our special services, the Defense Ministry and ordered them to protect the life of the Ukrainian president. Otherwise he would have been killed,\u201d he said, adding that at one point Russian signal intelligence, which was tracking the president\u2019s motorcade route, realized that he was about to be ambushed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yanukovich himself didn\u2019t want to leave and rejected the offer to be evacuated from Donetsk, Putin said. Only after spending several days in Crimea and realizing that \u201cthere was no one he could negotiate with in Kiev\u201d he asked to be taken to Russia.<\/p>\n
The Russian president personally ordered preparation of the Crimean special operation the morning after Yanukovich fled, saying that \u201cwe cannot let the [Crimean] people be pushed under the steamroller of the nationalists.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI [gave them] their tasks, told them what to do and how we must do it, and stressed that we would only do it if we were absolutely sure that this is what the people living in Crimea want us to do,\u201d Putin said. He added that an emergency public opinion poll indicated that at least 75 percent of the people wanted to join Russia.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal was not to take Crimea by annexing it. Our final goal was to allow the people express their wishes on how they want to live,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI decided for myself: what the people want will happen. If they want greater autonomy with some extra rights within Ukraine, so be it. If they decide otherwise, we cannot fail them. You know the results of the referendum. We did what we had to do,\u201d Putin said. He added that his personal involvement helped expedite things, because the people carrying out his decision had no reason to hesitate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Putin, part of the operation was to deploy K-300P Bastion coastal defense missiles to demonstrate Russia\u2019s willingness to protect the peninsula from military attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe deployed them in a way that made them seen clearly from space,\u201d Putin said. The president assured that the Russian military were prepared for any developments and would have armed nuclear weapons if necessary. He personally was not sure that Western nations would not use military force against Russia, he added.<\/p>\n
In order to demilitarize the Ukrainian troops based in Crimea, Russia sent the army\u2019s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) forces, the president said. \u201cA specific set of personnel was needed to block and demilitarize 20,000 people, who were well-armed. Not only in quantity, but in quality,\u201d Putin said, adding that he gave orders to the Defense Ministry to \u201cdeploy the special forces of the GRU, together with marine forces and paratroopers.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, according to Putin, the number of Russian forces did not exceed the limit of 20,000 authorized under the agreement on basing the Russian Black Sea Fleet at its military base in Crimea. \u201cAs we didn\u2019t exceed the number of personnel on our base in Crimea, strictly speaking, nothing was violated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Russian president added that the move to send additional Russian troops to secure Crimea and allow a referendum to be freely held there prevented major bloodshed on the peninsula.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cConsidering the ethnic composition of the Crimean population, the violence there would have been worse [than in Kiev]. We had to act to prevent negative development, not to allow tragedies like the one that happened in Odessa, where dozens of people were burned alive,\u201d Putin said. He acknowledged that there were some Crimean people, particularly members of the Crimean Tatar minority, who opposed the Russian operation. \u201cSome of the Crimean Tatars were under the influence of their leaders, some of whom are so to speak \u2018professional\u2019 fighters for the rights of the Tatars,\u201d he explained.\u00a0But at the same time the \u201cCrimean militia worked together with the Tatars. And there were Tatars among the militia members,\u201d he stressed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Crimean people voted in a referendum to join Russia after rejecting a coup-imposed government that took power in Kiev in February 2014.<\/p>\n
The move sparked a major international controversy, as the new government\u2019s foreign backers accused Russia of annexing the peninsula through military force.<\/p>\n
Moscow insists that the move was a legitimate act of self-determination and that the Russian troops acted only to provide security and not as an occupying force.<\/p>\n
