|    PRESIDENT PUTIN IS PART OF THE PROBLEM N    |
|    08 Dec 22 02:29:56    |
      From: cybernetic4456@gmail.com              Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, months into a conflict       that's been disastrous for the Russian military, that the war in Ukraine could       be a "long process." In doing so, Putin effectively acknowledged that the war       has not gone to plan.              "As for the duration of the special military operation, well, of course, this       can be a long process," Putin explained during a meeting with the presidential       Human Rights Council, per Reuters. The war was expected to be over quickly,       with Russian victory        all but certain.              From the onset of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Putin has       consistently refused to refer to the ongoing fighting as a war — instead       calling it a "special operation." In reality, this conflict in Ukraine is the       first major war in Europe since        World War II.              In his remarks on Wednesday, the Russian leader also said he saw "no sense" in       further mobilization. Putin announced a partial military mobilization of       300,000 reservists in September, a move which was met with public backlash and       saw thousands of men        flee the country. Numerous reports have indicated that the Russian men drafted       into the war as a result of this mobilization were sent to the front line with       little to no training and lacked proper equipment.              https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-says-the-war-in-ukrai       e-could-be-a-long-process-as-the-russian-military-s-list-of-fail       res-grows-months-into-the-invasion/ar-AA151rhg?ocid=msedgntp&cvi       =d24002d1e4784bf7ac887df6ad24c49b              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
