PART TWO of the #Kursk front update.
Vladimir #Putin started this war with the following goals: firstly, to restore the territories of the USSR and the #Russian Empire (the man lives in the 18th century, although sometimes it seems like it's the 12th-5th century), to the extent that will be allowed by effeminate European and American politicians who are more interested in global warming and the fact that the caps are firmly attached to plastic bottles. Secondly, defense capability can be increased by expanding territories and moving borders away from internal Russian infrastructure at the expense of the economy and resources of the captured countries.

With such input, the presence of British or any other NATO troops right on the borders of the #Russian Federation is unacceptable for the Russian leader. Just as unacceptable is stopping the conflict at the stage where, in the opinion of Putin and his inner circle, Russian troops are finally moving forward and gradually capturing more and more Ukrainian territory. Despite the difficult situation, the Kremlin dreamers already see tricolors in Dnepr (city), Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Odesa. With a demilitarized zone and NATO peacekeepers along the entire line of contact, these plans must be forgotten.

Another indication that Putin is not aware of Trump's secret plan to force Ukraine to peace is the recent statements by Andrey Yarin, head of the Russian presidential administration's domestic policy department, who told Ukrainian collaborators (former mayors of Ukrainian cities and members of the Verkhovna Rada), as well as his staff that there is no need to expect any peace. "This is still at least 30 years away," Yarin told the public at a recent AP event. Putin is preparing for a significant and lengthy confrontation, not peace. He hopes to win it (or maintain the illusion of victory throughout his not-very-long remaining life) by playing on the internal contradictions of the Western political establishment and the indecisiveness, narrow-mindedness, and timidity of the left. In any case, those who regularly hear either the supreme leader himself or people from his inner circle say this.
