Over the course of the year, Russia has failed to achieve any of its stated goals and has not achieved significant territorial gains since July, the analysts wrote.
Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin has not made a statement about the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, despite repeated public appearances this week. This was announced yesterday by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The Kremlin has not commented on the first anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, likely because Russia has failed to achieve any of its stated goals and has not made significant territorial gains since July 2022. The President Russia’s Vladimir Putin and his administration have not made any anniversary announcements, although Putin has made several public appearances over the past three days.
However, according to analysts in the report, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev sarcastically said that the Russian Federation will “win the war”, and reiterated that “to achieve its goals, it is important to push the borders as much as possible, even if they are the borders of Poland “.
“Medvedev’s words underline the fact that the Kremlin continues to pursue unrealistic maximalist goals, even though it cannot offer the Russian people any significant gains after a year of costly war in Ukraine ,” ISW said.
Analysts also noted that Russian war criminal Igor Girkin commented on the anniversary of the invasion, calling Medvedev’s statements nonsense. He admits that it is very difficult to defeat a state that receives external support with unmotivated Russian troops, an absent civil society and strong brainwashing.
Recall that this week Putin called Ukraine “enslaved” by the West in a message to the Federal Assembly. He also threatened to expand the war if Western countries supply Ukraine with long-range weapons.
After that, the Office of the President announced Putin’s “taiga dead end”.
