Putin is destroying the very country he wants Russia to re-absorb one day while punishing the same people he would like to one day rule over. Should Putin win (which he won't), which Ukrainians will adulate him? So far, only Stalin has killed more people in Russia and Ukraine than Putin

This is the third winter Putin has been savaging the Ukrainian infrastructure.

From 2022: "Vladimir Putin wants to make it impossible for Ukrainians to survive winter's wrath. It's partly working"
