Burns, who served as ambassador to Russia in November and traveled to Russia in November to warn of the consequences of an invasion, said. Putin really believes his rhetoric. I’ve heard him say secretly over the years that Ukraine is not a real country. Well, real countries are fighting back. And that’s what the Ukrainians did.”
