You are a victim of mainstream media brain washing. The assessment you made above was made not by Putin but the combined agencies in the US and the EU starting with the CIA and none other than Milley himself briefing Congress about the same. Now if you have cared to read the agreement that had been reached in Turkey, you would clearly see that was not what Russia was aiming to do. The truth is Western hubris has been deflated and unfortunately with it are the economies of the world including our own in Kenya. For every 5 bucks the West spent in Ukraine Russia only spent a dollar. The results are 38k proven Russian deaths vs a few hundred thousand Ukrainian soldiers.If you think that is winning then you need a brain transplant my fren.
