The Kremlin said on Monday that the only way to protect Russian territory from Ukrainian attacks was to create a buffer zone that would put Russian regions beyond the range of Ukrainian fire. The Kremlin was commenting after President Vladimir Putin raised the possibility of setting up such a zone in a speech after winning re-election on Sunday.
Isn’t that basically an admisdion of Russian weakness? We are too weak to defend our people properly, that’s why we have to conwuer Ukraine…
Anyways, they will just expand that buffer zone more and more if they are allowed to have one. Hopefully the west will help Ukraine more.
Putin is needing a safe space.
It’s just standard Russian doublethink
