Why would he end the operation?

[–] Crass_Spektakel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am not saying he is ending it. I say he will try to prepare to end it without getting removed from power, to get away with a black eye. He might offer some sort of shady deal which Ukraine rightfully will reject. And finally he will end the operation, not getting most of his demands. But as he had all his hardliners removed he can still claim whatever he wants. Because not the winner but the person in charge decides what the truth is.

You:

I am not saying he is ending it.

Also you:

when he ends his “special operation” in a couple of weeks.

Maybe you didn't mean to, but you quite literally did say he is ending it and provided a loose deadline.
