Lol....lies.

His main aim was to stop Ukraine from joining NATO and to liberate the donbas region which has been achieved so far......the rest are to solidify the primary aims...for instance if Zelensky is removed a pro Russian or neutral govt will immediately end the war.
Putin thought it will be a walkover war but he met what he didn't bargain for. It's the beginning of a war we know nobody can predict the end.

Putin is getting frail because what he met was more than he envisaged.
Exactly,the war really drained Russia,I don't know what would have happened to them if they had face country like China or Germany.

You think people like Putin care about how many soldiers die? He has captured what he wanted months ago and just holding grounds.

If the war ends today and status quo maintained, who lost and who won?
What did he want that he has already gotten now?
What is it or what was it?

Thank you...
Putin woke up killed his own brothers and sisters recklessly over nothing and some shameless guys on Nairaland blame Zelensky for it .....
Zelensky will be a hero for life. Russians aren't happy with putin but who wants to talk and be jailed ? A lot of them have ancestral family ties with Ukraine because they're the same. The difference is their country names. You can trek and enter Russia from Ukraine. It's like yorubas fighting cotonou people or igbo fighting the asaba people. That's stupidly

Yep but he didn't really think it will be as easy as y'all were assuming and also he would've been right had NATO not give massive support to Ukraine.

QuinQ:
This is not something that happened decades ago na. So u can't fool anybody
Do you recall that Putin amassed unbelievable amount of troops at Ukraine border and they started marching towards Kyiv with the aim to arrive within a week, with a list of those to be arrested. It was not meant to be a war or even a months-long conflict.
It was NOT about Donbass. That was 2014
The commenter below replies u well.
Hahaha.....what triggered the war?.... Zelensky has been there long before this war so tell me again exactly what triggered the war.

Sorry for you.....
You now lie openly on Net ...that Ukraine started the war ....fear God small
And despite your putting have destroyed substantial part of Ukraine.....your Putin is getting hit also by Ukraine drones in Russia oil installations....so Putin spank himself
Still has the upper hand and still in control...so?. undecided .

Man just needed to taught zelensky a bitter lesson sad

Next time he'll pick his fight wisely.

Who pass you pass you!

Even NATO fled!!!
You have no clue what Ukraine is doing to Russia lately, hope you read where Putin talk about Ukraine using 6000 drone.

Triggered ko, Patricia ni. Putin's objectives were clear and he wasn't hiding them. A certain Nigerian Pastor was among those to be arrested.
"Denazification" and "blitzkrieg" were Putin's language!

Trump strangled Ukraine and EU tried but could not match up.
If war ends today, Russia two of them lost but Russia lost more than Ukraine.

You may win war but end up lost battle, today, the way people see Russia as Almighty nation as been diminished on international stage, just as people ridiculing USA on Vietnam war, or even Iran now, you might kill or annexed land, but your aim and desire not achieved, and that pain leaders, most especially powerful nations, far more than any land or soldiers you might have killed.

O he should continue senseless war and bloodshed until.his economy crumbles and he is overthrown. What is the achievement. Land in exchange for over a million dead.

Even with all support Russia was getting from Iran, north Korea and china.

Russia is bigger than Ukraine in everything and they are family
You and I know Ukraine can never attack Russia or threaten Russia.....so how can Putin so devilish to waste hundreds of thousands of lives of his brothers on both sides for nothing
Re: Putin Thinks Ukraine Conflict 'Coming To An End' by marv1: 7:09am On May 11
For your information. Ukraine has reclaimed those regions Russia captured before., Russian soldiers are tired of fighting. Google search it.

HacheNoire:
What weird way?

If the word ended today and status quo maintained, who won?

Putin already captured strategic points he wanted. They only holding on and being defensive to protect those areas, and not seeking more! Ukraine is the one trying to reclaim!

If the war ends today, the map of Ukraine will never remain the same!

Yes if they remain neutral but if they had joined NATO which is one of the main reasons why Putin attacked then they would've become a threat at Russia doorstep....heard of Cuba missile crisis before?. undecided .

Yeah ...head it...
But Putin supose go for the head of Ukraine regime and possibly install those that are pro Russia...instead of 4 years wars and killing those young and handsome Russia soldiers

There was this post I saw about him saying he is keeping his promise to a certain someone who is like a pope to authordox Christians (if I am not mistaken) to not kpai Zelensky.....and secondly the people of donbas were pro Russian and Putin wanted to liberate the whole region as well because they were marginalized and there is heavy military presence there just like in eastern Nigeria.....those were the two main aim of the the military operation which have so far being achieved.... fighting is still going on because Zelensky doesn't want to let go of the the conquered territories.

They had assessments and even if they did not achieve all, they achieved little.

Why you cannot answer the initial question that, if the war ended this minute, who won?
Ukraine won. It's strange that you're even asking that. What was their mission in all this? To defend themselves against Russia's aggression and prevent Putin from taking over their country's government. Of course, they've achieved that if the war ends today.

And Russia's well-known objectives? They have not achieved them - so, again, Ukraine has won.

in order to avoid ussr being surrounded by nato. Just like they surrounded Iran
Russia had many Nato neigbours before the war began. Now, it has more - because several of its neigbouring countries have joined Nato since the foolish war began. You're the only person in the entire world who doesn't know this and you should be embrassed.

Russia has failed if stopping Nato expansion was its reason for the war.

Next.

The cost of USA war with Iran in so far is 1000x larger than the cost of Russian war against Ukraine and with so much result.


Not be cho cho cho.

There is no damage to Russia economy or stake !
