(Putin has already achieved his war aims, his aims from the beginning were to drive out the militias and occupy the eastern and south-eastern provinces. He added the southern province to make a road bridge to the Crimea. Zelensky, trying to encourage NATO to deploy troops, escalated the war by attacking civilian infrastructure targets, Russia responded. I still can't see NATO starting WW III by sending troops. Zelensky must negotiate. If he had implemented the Minsk agreements as signed by Ukraine (withdraw the militias from the east) the country would still be whole.
Reminder that the CIA started the war between West and East Ukraine when it looked like the pro Russian East was going to win the 2014 general election as they did in 2010.)
