Mr. Putin is a quick turn. Dug in the battlefield – Despite the pressures and costs – to expect a longer and more difficult conflict than the West’s expectation of Moscow. Now the Russian leader can deny that his moments came to change the balance of power in favor of the Kremlin not only in Ukraine.
“I think that he is a real opportunity in the Russian analyst, not Ukraine and not from Ukraine, but also in the Russian analyst,” said the State Department during the Obama administration.
