Waning Western Support Reinvigorates Putin’s Confidence of Victory in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed on Thursday that Russia’s war on Ukraine would not end until it achieves every one of its goals, including “demilitarizing” all of Ukraine. Waning Western support for Kyiv appears to have boosted Putin’s confidence during his first press conference since the war’s outbreak.

Putin said there would be no need for another wave of mass mobilization, adding that some 617,000 Russian troops are already in Ukraine.

Diminishing Western aid: This year, Russia deterred a Ukrainian counteroffensive and watched as American and European aid to Ukraine faltered.

• United States House Speaker Mike Johnson aims to make the American-Mexican border a higher priority than Ukraine.
• Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán vetoed a $54 billion aid package to Ukraine.

Renewed confidence: After months of ridicule and speculation that he would be usurped or Russia would lose, Putin seems to have absolute confidence in a Russian victory.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote in 2008:

Russia’s attack on Georgia in August marks the beginning of a dangerous new era in history. This was the first military strike of a rising Asian superpower—and there will be more!

Will a crisis occur over Ukraine? That area is the breadbasket of Russia, and surely it is willing to wage war over that as well.

In 2017, Mr. Flurry again commented:

I was certainly right in my predication that Russia would also get control of Ukraine! I knew because Putin has a long pattern of diabolical evil on the level of Joseph Stalin. An abundance of fruits prove that.
