Once the campaign started the mass movement escalated. Please refer to Paul Robinson, university of Ottawa( Do we still need NATO?).
There is no evidence that Serbian military or police committed genocide, you are speculating. Racak massacre was dropped from the indictment( Milosevic Trial), during the trial for the lack of evidence. Go to Racak massacre wiki.
Ukrainian government forces were bombing Donetsk prior to Russian invasion 2022 with thousand people killed including children, I am guessing tha Putin is referring to this war crimes.

We know now why Serbia was attacked by Nato. Nato wanted to show its relevance and started expanding. Of course, it was easy during Unipolar moment. How about now?
More and more countries see the analogy, and The Nato is losing its relevance.
