Putin doesn’t need to take and hold any territory in Ukraine to accomplish his goal. He simply needs to force the Ukrainian President and his political loyalists into exile. Once they’re tucked away in their French Chalets and Brighton Beach bungalows Vlad can hold a “vote” to elect his new government…..I believe Dominion has already secured the contract. 😉
Exactly Why would Putin "destroy" Ukraine?? He's there for the goodies.
