Putin: Ukraine is just a puppet, the West is the real enemy of Russia

Putin, who was speaking at a military hospital in Moscow where he met soldiers injured in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, has made it clear that Ukraine is just a puppet in the hands of Western countries that they are using to fight against Russia. The President of Russia has added that all Western leaders are the real enemies of Russia than Ukraine itself. Putin explained by saying: "The issue is not that they are helping our enemy, but that they are our enemy." They are solving their problems using the hands of Ukraine, that's exactly what it is". He continued to explain that the conflict between Moscow and Kiev was planned by the leaders of the West, who are fighting to defeat Russia. However, the West as a whole has not been able to achieve its goals, and that failure can already be seen by changing the statements it makes regarding the conflict. The President of Russia speaking with soldiers wounded in the war The President of Russia has reminded that those who until yesterday were talking about the need to hurt Russia with a 'strategic victory' are now looking for words to end the conflict quickly. He emphasized by saying: "we want to end the conflict, again as soon as possible, but only on our terms. We have no desire to fight forever, but we will not give up our position either". According to figures provided by Russia, more than 380,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or injured in the ongoing war. In addition, Ukraine has suffered a great loss of equipment, where approximately 14,000 tanks and other military vehicles of the country have been burned. The Russian statistics show that, of all those soldiers who were killed and wounded, 160,000 of them were killed during Kiev's operations to respond to the attacks and liberate its territories held by Moscow, which were started in early June last year.../
