"Portnikov revealed what Putin, along with millions of Russian citizens, continues to dream of "in defiance of reality"
Publicist Vitaly Portnikov warned that Kremlin leader Putin still hopes to seize all of Ukraine.
It only seems to us that the Russians' ultimate goal today is to seize Donbas, but in reality, Putin wants all of Ukraine, stated Vitaly Portnikov. Ukrainians will prevent this, having secured the help of their Western partners, but Putin, far from reality, continues to dream of his own.
The journalist outlined the Kremlin's main goal in the war in Ukraine on his YouTube channel.
"In Europe, the idea of border integrity as a dogma began to exist practically during World War II and was reflected in the Helsinki Documents of 1975, a proposal by Soviet diplomats who were convinced that the idea of inviolability of borders would secure both the eternal existence of a divided Germany and the existence of a sovereign German Democratic Republic, which was then a true satellite of the Soviet Union. It was precisely in order to preserve its colonial heritage in Europe that the Soviet Union pushed through the idea of inviolability of borders, which the West disliked at the time precisely because many there hoped to live to see German reunification," the political analyst recalled.
Portnikov then expressed concerns about how Putin could twist everything to his advantage: "As we see, not a single Helsinki Act has been able to stop historical processes. It's no coincidence that this Helsinki Act included a provision for the voluntary unification of states, which the Russian Federation can now exploit if its troops occupy our entire country and put an end to Ukrainian statehood, something Putin, along with millions of his chauvinist compatriots prepared for a long war, continues to dream of, despite reality.""
