With his economy imploding and his military suffering from massive losses of men and materiel, Russian President Vladimir Putin is under great pressure.
Likely reacting to escalating pressure to end the war from the billionaire caste of oligarchs who benefit from his regime, Putin lashed out at Russian expatriates on Wednesday."I am not at all judging those who have a villa in Miami or the French Riviera, who cannot do without foie gras, oysters, or so-called gender freedoms." But, Putin added, Russia would benefit from the"self-cleansing" of those Russians who prefer the West.
But Ukraine's formidable resistance gives Zelensky negotiating capital to use to ensure his nation's freedom to form closer relations with the West and to ensure its democratic character free from Kremlin subjugation. This is the very opposite of what Putin wants.
