According to analysts, the Kremlin head did not give up the imperial plans and set to capture as many Ukrainian territories as possible. Russian President Vladimir Putin creates all the conditions for a full -scale war in Ukraine to move into a protracted phase. This is stated in the new report of the ISW War Study of November 7.

The analytics document quotes Vladimir Putin's recent statement that the "special operation" in the territory of Ukraine can be a long process, and the annexation of the Ukrainian territories is for Moscow. According to ISW, the head of the Kremlin compared itself in a favorable light with the Russian Tsar Peter the Great, stating that Russia is now controlled by the Sea of ​​Azov.

The reference to imperial history apparently defines the current goals of Vladimir Putin in Ukraine as frankly imperialist and, as before, maximalist. "Putin adjusts the Russian internal audience to expect a protracted, grueling war in Ukraine, which is still aimed at winning additional Ukrainian territories. The Kremlin creates information conditions for delaying war in Ukraine since the departure of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces goals, "the ISW report reads.

Analysts also conclude that Vladimir Putin does not want to risk losing support within the country, stopping his offensive operations even for a short time, not to mention to give up their imperial pranks against Ukrainians. It should be noted that on December 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke in the Human Rights Council. Yes, the dictator threatened that a full -scale war in Ukraine could be a long process.
