Putin’s Peaceful Offensive
Putin now plays peacemaker, using diplomatic efforts to gain international support for a plan that would force Ukraine to surrender its territories, but his true aim is not peace but victory
To maintain his grip on power, Putin needs to win the war in Ukraine, which means taking control of the five Ukrainian regions annexed by Russia. But that appears to be a difficult, if not insurmountable, task. According to British General Sir Roly Walker, it would take Putin five years and 1.8 million lost soldiers.
Having failed to achieve his goal by force, he is trying to do it by diplomacy. To this end, Putin stepped up his information war and changed its strategy. Now he has donned the sheep’s clothing of a peacemaker. He claims that Ukraine has no chance of regaining the occupied territories and that continuing this war will only bring Ukraine more losses of land and lives. Therefore, to save these lives, peace must be concluded immediately.
In this humanitarian guise, he is trying to sell his plan to America and other countries. He has sent his emissary Viktor Orban to Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and other world leaders. In addition to these diplomatic efforts, he has launched an intensive propaganda campaign to gain support for his plan from the wider political and intellectual community.
This is a hoax. If he really wanted peace, Putin could end this war by pulling his troops out of Ukraine. But that is not the peace he wants. He does not want peace; he wants victory. And he wants America to hand him that victory by cutting off support for Ukraine, forcing it to surrender, and legitimizing Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian lands.
