"Putin wants to seize all of Donbas without a fight: a veteran reveals his real plan 

Lesya Leshchenko, 10/20/25 

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is unable to seize Donbas militarily, so he is attempting to manipulate his way into acquiring these territories without a fight. Retired Major Oleksiy Getman, a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, told UNIAN...

"If we withdraw, it's not like any routes will open up or the Russians will be able to advance unhindered, but it will be more difficult for us to maintain our defense than where we are now. Putin clearly understands perfectly well that he can't seize these territories; he lacks the military resources to do so. Therefore, he's trying to take them without fail. And he's starting to suggest that we give them this or that region,'" the expert explained.  

He believes Putin wants Trump to say that it's necessary to prevent people from dying, meaning he's playing on emotions. 

"Putin tells him, 'We could have seized it, but there would be losses. Why,' he says, 'we'll do it anyway, so let them give it up voluntarily...,'" Getman explained. 

He emphasized that there's no rule that other countries consider something seized aggressively as property. 

"Let's imagine that politician Roosevelt (Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd US President from 1933 to 1945, a Democrat – UNIAN) had said that what Hitler seized should be left as is, but we need to come to an agreement. It's impossible to imagine such a situation. But Trump is doing it. It's the same thing, a very similar situation. Someone seized something, and then-President Roosevelt said, 'Well, he seized it, so he seized it, he controls 78% of France, so let it be. Let's stop the war along the line of contact. The main thing is that people don't die,'" the expert emphasized."
