Putin at war with Ukraine

Since February, tensions have been at their highest between Ukraine and Russia. Putin, more threatened than ever, is launching numerous offensives against his enemy country. According to the UN, more than 6.6 million Ukrainians have fled from the bombings. Families are separated and cities are in ruins.

Although he was thought to be ill and very weak, Putin is stubbornly determined to recover Ukraine. The Russian President ignores NATO's warnings and does not seem ready to negotiate peace with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Moreover, on Thursday, July 7, during a meeting with the leaders of the lower house of parliament, he threatened the West.

Putin very threatening towards the West

In front of the television, Putin provoked Westerners who wish to help Ukrainians in the face of war and defeat Russia. ‘Let them try!’ he said, as reported by The Telegraph. The Kremlin leader said that Russia hasn’t ‘started anything yet in earnest’.

These words are heavy with meaning and prove that Putin is not going to capitulate to Ukraine. Nevertheless, the man who supposedly suffers from a Napoleon complex, according to a therapist, tried to qualify his words:

At the same time, we don’t reject peace talks.

He then added:

But those who reject them should know that the further it goes, the harder it will be for them to negotiate with us.

At the meeting, Putin took the opportunity to warn the West:

We have heard many times that the west wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but it seems that everything is heading towards this.

Worrying words that prove that the war is still far from over.
