Putin is working as hard as he can to develop methods to increase Russian abilities without using nukes... more powerful and capable missiles, for example. After all, he doesn't want any nuclear fallout blowing into Russia.
No! He's working hard to make sure the war between themselves comes to an end quick. The two things that will happen from this war would be Russia achieving their aim, retrieving these lands which belongs to them ( formerly Russian lands ) either by military drills or massive surrender. Only dump politicians like these European leaders would want to see their nation burn down because they're obsessed with Russia. Putin has no such plans for nukes!!!
Actually, it's Russia saving USSR lands from both, USSR-style dictatorship, and from Western conquest. The way they are doing it protects both, the conquest of Russia, and the liberation of people who are being conquered by the West.
The whole West, including the US, have been conquered by the banking system. How have they been conquered? The banking system shrewd people have offered the world apparent greatness through make-believe freedom. Then, the banking system maintains it's control over the people who succumb to their control by believing that they are being given freedom.
Russia doesn't care what other people do. Just leave Russia and the people who ask for Russia alone.
The people of Eastern Ukraine asked for Russian protection from the West's advancement through Ukraine. Ukraine responded to this by attacking Eastern Ukrainian people, many of whom were Russian people. Russia simply responded by attempting to rescue her own. The West turned it into a war against Ukraine.
The West doesn't care about the people of Ukraine. If Ukrainian people don't accept Zelensky, they will be executed through Z. If they accept him, they will be destroyed through the war.
The West has been trying to expand into Russia since before the Bolshevik Revolution - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=who+financed+the+bolsheviks%3F&ia=web. If Stalin had not been so paranoid, he really could have made the USSR strong.
Putin is making Russia strong by maintaining freedom to all who want it. Ukrainian people don't want the war. But Zelensky, whether he believes what he says or not - remember that he was a comedian actor in the most despicable ways (you can't trust a professional actor that he is telling the truth) - isn't stopping the war. He is killing his own people off and replacing them with NATO troops.
What Ukrainian city is Russia making great again? Mariupol. It was always Russian at heart. Russia is simply restoring it. Putin has seen through Western banking lies. You can understand it in his formation of BRICS... with other countries that understand.
