Putin Says He Has No Regrets About Ukraine Invasion After Reverses

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has no regrets about his struggling invasion of Ukraine and left open the possibility of renewed massive bombardment of cities there.

“No,” was his quick response when asked by a reporter whether he had any regrets about the war. “What’s happening now isn’t very pleasant, to put it mildly. But we would have faced all the same just later and on worse terms for us,” he told journalists in the Kazakh capital Astana on Friday. “We’re acting in a correct and timely way.”

But Putin sought to reassure Russians alarmed by his order last month to call up 300,000 reservists for the fight, saying that the process will wrap up in a couple of weeks and won’t be extended.

When will certain humans understand that they are not paying for the oxygen they breathe and that one day their body will also cease taking in oxygen? It's fascinating seeing some of these people in position of authority behave as if they are superior humans.

The expansion was not worth it. Being agressive towards Russia isn't a good idea.
