I think that Putin understands he can't fully occupy Ukraine. It’s just that sometimes he shares messages with our partners that are not what he truly thinks.
He suffers tremendous losses and doesn't have enough well-trained people on the battlefield. He is trying to find an off-ramp that looks like a victory. That's why he is trying to push us out of Donbas via diplomacy, through dialogue with the United States.
Because to fully occupy Donbas he would need to sacrifice between 300,000 and 1 million people, depending on how many years they would plan the operation for. This is a huge price to pay even for Putin.
From an interview on The Rest Is Politics podcast (2/5).
@HotSotin Zelenskyy can’t be bribed by Russia. The Nazis would kill him. Besides, they are pocketing billions from the west, while keeping their regime. No reason to change the scam.
🇺🇸👀 Trump: We win, regardless what happens, we win.
Let’s see what happens. Maybe they will make a deal, maybe they won’t. It doesn’t matter. From the standpoint of America, we win.
@astraiaintel The gulf states just sent back the Ukrainian junk, after they failed to defend their space. How could they have ever worked, when they don’t work in Ukraine??😂🤡🤡
@HotSotin Don’t worry, even if he wins, the EU will do like they did in Romania, and will cancel the elections, until their candidate wins. “EU values”…😂😂🤡🤡
Easter should be a time of security and peace. It would be right for a ceasefire to continue beyond the holiday. We have conveyed this proposal to Russia, and if Russia once more chooses war over peace, it will yet again show the world, and the United States in particular, who truly stands for what. Ukraine will act symmetrically.
@CaolanReports No need to worry. If Orban wins, the EU will do like they did in Romania, and will get the elections cancelled, until their candidate wins. “EU values”….🤡🤡😂😂
Russian agents are in Budapest. They are here to meddle with the election. Expect fake news, AI and even a potential false flag incident if Orban loses. Be cautious what you read over the next 24 hours. Disinformation will be in overdrive. Orban is not going to go quietly.
