Show me where he's said he wants all of Ukraine after September last year and I'll just say I'm wrong, I don't think he has and I don't think they're capable of capturing all of Ukraine, evidently. I'm happy to admit I'm wrong if that is the case, unlike most people in this thread.
OK, finally at a computer now. So let's get something very clear here. What Russia has tried to illegally annex, they basically don't even hold. They don't even have fully have ANY of the Oblasts right now.
- The one that is the closet is Luhansk, and what is going on there? They are beyond Lunhansk territory and currently making assaults in the North Eastern sector Kharkiv Oblast.
- Donetsk, they have what... half of the Oblast and claim it as annexed? Kinda seems illegal and meaningless And just as I said, they continue to attack across all sectors. Because guess what, that's reality, they do not have that territory's.
- Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Again, they don't all the Oblast, and they claimed to have annexed it.
- Kherson Oblast. They do not have all of it, and they have claimed annex over it. This is the only real area they can't attack because they screwed themselves by withdrawing, so stand no chance of either having a true annex over the region, or moving forward in any real way.
- Every other region under bombardment by Russia, Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa. They have also moved troops to the North. Whether that's real or not really isn't under debate here, but it's a lot of manpower, and they've attacked from there once already.
This article is him talking about whether he should go for Kyiv again, and it's him posing the question.
I'll dig deeper if you really want, but let's just remind ourselves here. Russia is a liar. It always has been: https://www.factcheck.org/2022/02/r...-attack-against-ukraine-deny-deflect-mislead/
In short, what you are claiming is utter nonsense, and if you are going to try and pander your entire point being on the Oblasts borders, you clearly didn't get the memo. And if you can't see that, see the point in bold.
Annex'd? Don't think so... : https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/...d-luhansk-has-undermined-its-claim-on-crimea/
