Putin’s Pursuit of Victory: Why Russia Clings to Its Ukraine War Objectives Despite Mounting Setbacks
First we will talk about what Putin wanted to do.
He had a big idea. He wanted to make Russia as powerful as it was in the old days. He thought taking over Ukraine would be quick and easy.
He planned for a short war. He believed Ukraine would give up fast. But that didn’t happen. Ukraine fought back, and they fought hard.
Now Putin has a problem. He didn’t expect a long fight. He focused on the war and ignored his own country.
He can’t stop now. He’s already done too much. So he keeps sending soldiers and weapons, trying to make Ukraine surrender.
But Ukraine isn’t giving up. In fact, they’re getting stronger. Other countries are helping them too.
Many in Europe now believe Ukraine is acting like a shield. They say Ukraine is stopping Russia from going further.
No matter what Putin tries, it’s not working. He’s wasting soldiers, money and time.
He dug himself into a deep hole. Now he can’t get out.
He started the war. But Ukraine might be the one to end it. Many believe he can’t win. It’s just a matter of time.
