What inspires the occupiers

But no, dear friends, they know everything very well. Although, starting from February 24, 2022, they have repeatedly changed the purpose of the military invasion voiced by their “leader” (someone has calculated that there are as many as 12 variations on this topic!), including denazification, demilitarization, rejection of NATO, removal of "barriers" to the widespread use of the Russian language, recognition of the so-called "DPR" and "LPR", recognition of the annexed Crimea as the territory of Russia, and so on, to... simply ending the war, it is just a decorum.

All of these variations, from the first to the last, are false, manipulative, and fake, as is always the case with Russians, who "can't breathe without lying." They are just used to it, they have done it before, lied to themselves and believed their lies, and they also believed that they were misinforming the enemy.

"All of these variations, from the first to the last, are false, manipulative, and fake, as is always the case with Russians, who "can't breathe without lying." They are just used to it, they have done it before, lied to themselves and believed their lies”

In fact, they have a completely different goal. And this goal is clear and understandable to everyone there, from Putin and his clique to the last soldier - that goal is to take over Ukraine. If not all of it, then as much as possible. As Putin says, "One piece at a time!"

And what they don't conquer, they destroy, and the more, the better. This is how they live, and it inspires them like nothing else!

However, in the case of Ukraine, they are used to doing this with the help of Ukrainians themselves, drugging them with propaganda and forcing them to go against their own people, as it was in previous eras. But then we had no state and the advantage was on their side.

“Every time they get kicked, they reduce their appetite for aggression. But only reduce it, because they will never lose it completely. At least as long as Russia exists in its current form”

However, now everything has gone wrong for them. And although there is still a long and difficult struggle ahead, it is already obvious that every time they get kicked, they reduce their appetite for aggression. But only reduce it, because they will never lose it completely. At least as long as Russia exists in its current form the idea of "collecting lands" will always inspire them. And Ukraine needs to be prepared for this, best of all, of course, as part of NATO.

But first, of course, we need to withstand and win, or at least simply drive the Russian occupiers out of our land.
