Will shaming Putin actually work? Nice job if it can be finessed.
Even the general Russian populations has to be questioning Putin’s motives. For sure a number of the other Russian Federation leaders are grumbling a bit among themselves.
Unfortunately, with the loss of all that blood and wealth, don’t expect Putin to just pack up and leave. It just will not happen.
And, unfortunately, Zelensky is trying to broaden the war to save himself. Obviously, he cares nothing for Ukranians.
Is the Donetsk region really worth that much to Ukraine’s future. Ukraine has already lost its future.
The Donetsk region will turn out to be a wasteland adjacent to the Ukraine wasteland.
“Even the general Russian populations has to be questioning Putin’s motives.”
***************************
Not true. Putin has 86% support for his actions in Ukraine.
“In June 2025, 86 percent of Russians approved of the activities of the Russian President Vladimir Putin. The popularity level was nine percentage points higher than in September 2022, when the figure declined following the announcement of a partial mobilization in the country. After Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February 2022, the approval rating increased.”

Pretending Putin doesn’t have the full support of his people is just Western propaganda.
