Putin stands over the bodies of three hundred thousand people
The Russian president will not attend the major G20 summit in Indonesia, and this is not surprising. It was expected that he would not find a place among the leaders of other countries, even if he has the serious support of Saudi’s Bin Salman.
By announcing the withdrawal of Russian forces from Kherson, Putin has complicated the dynamics of his aggressive campaign in Ukraine. Ukrainians and their Western allies are pleased with this withdrawal, yet they do not see it as a simple surrender of the region. We should expect the heaviest battles of recent months in these areas. Wherever the Russians retreat, they engage in widespread destruction and maximum laying of mines.
In a simple yet astonishing media event, Lord Dannatt, the former head of the British Army, during a live television interview, called on the Chief of the Russian General Staff to stage a coup against Vladimir Putin.
The situation that Vladimir Putin has created is a complex knot in regional and global politics, and now the announcement of the number of victims of his invasion of Ukraine by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff reveals the shocking dimensions of this aggression. The raw data generally indicates the loss of one hundred thousand Russian soldiers, one hundred thousand Ukrainian soldiers, and tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians. A bitter reality that Putin has created and has ruthlessly involved Iran in its creation.
