   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.
