Putin insists there will be no peace in Ukraine until his goals are achieved

LA Times  

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that there would be no peace in Ukraine until the Kremlin realizes its goals, which remain unchanged after nearly two years of fighting that has sent tensions soaring between Moscow and the West. Speaking at a year-end news conference that lasted more than four hours and offered him an opportunity to reinforce his grip on power, Putin gave some rare details on what Moscow calls its “special military operation.” He dismissed the need for a second wave of mobilization of reservists, saying at a year-end news conference that there are some 617,000 Russian troops currently in Ukraine, including around 244,000 soldiers who were called up to fight alongside professional Russian military forces. “Victory will be ours.” Putin highlighted Russian military gains in Ukraine as the conflict’s second winter approached. Putin reiterated that Moscow’s goals in Ukraine — “de-Nazification, de-militarization and a neutral status” of Ukraine — remain unchanged. Responding to a final question about what kind of warning he would have given to himself from today’s perspective when he started his first term in 2000, Putin said he would have warned against “naivete and excessive trustfulness regarding our so-called partners.” Putin also fielded questions from a group of children in Russian-annexed Crimea concerned about the leaking roof and mold in their gymnasium and a woman who, addressing “my favorite president,” complained about the spiking price of eggs.
