Putin's War Strategy Revealed Through Rare Comments and Excuses.

Putin is reportedly preparing excuses in case Russia's invasion of Ukraine becomes a stalemate or his troops are defeated. He recently claimed that Russian forces in Ukraine were fighting with inferior weapons and that the country is urgently increasing the production of modern weapons for front-line troops. Former CIA official Steven Hall believes Putin is trying to lower expectations of a Russian victory in Ukraine and prepare the Russian population for a possible stalemate or frozen conflict. A defeat in Ukraine could prompt internal chaos in Russia and embolden those seeking to challenge Putin's power.
