Putin Continues to Conduct His War in a Reactive Way
Paul Craig Roberts
Russian strikes are reactions to Kiev’s initiatives. They are not part of a proactive offensive strategy. Putin says so himself. Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko that Ukraine’s attacks on Russian energy facilities forced him to retaliate. The Russian Defense Ministry described the attacks as retaliatory. Putin apparently doesn’t grasp that Russia is at war far beyond a “limited military operation” and that his failure to bring it to a quick end has resulted in an ever-widening war that is spinning out of control. The Kremlin’s lack of realism boggles the mind.
