Putin still wants total control over Ukraine

Anders Puck Nielsen
@anderspuck@krigskunst.social
In this video I look at Putin's proposal about a so-called peace plan, and what it tells us about how he looks at the war. I think the most interesting thing was not the outrageous demands that he made as a precondition to even start negotiations, but that he also reiterated the same war aims as when the invasion began in 2022. In short, Russia's goals with the war haven't changed.

The link is to a blog post with both the video and a transcript. https://www.logicofwar.com/putin-still-wants-total-control-over-ukraine/

Here's to hoping when the people of Russia will have enough of that war of aggression for Ukraine's natural resources (oil...), losing hundreds of thousands troops in the process, they will demand a full withdrawal like they did for Afghanistan in the early 80's.
