Abstract

The Russian military seized the airport in the first month of the invasion, but the Ukrainians took it back in November. gl GLO:161i/01jun23:20n1.jpg PHOTO (BLACK & WHITE): A Ukrainian soldier reassembles batteries extracted from downed Russian drones in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which Vladimir Putin has tried to annex for Russia, March 9, 2023. gl GLO:161i/01jun23:22n1.jpg PHOTO (BLACK & WHITE): This page: A mass burial site in Izium, Ukraine, March 15, 2023. In a bid to restore Potemkin's cities to Russian suzerainty, Russia occupied Kherson in early March of 2022, at the outset of a campaign to annihilate both Ukraine and the idea of Ukraine. Will the regime be forced to focus on its internal problems, meaning that the potential for external aggressive policies will decline?" Only one thing matters: Russia's leaders must conclude that the war was a mistake, and Russia must acknowledge Ukraine as an independent country with the right to exist. To Vladimir Putin in particular, Potemkin is the Russian nationalist who subdued territory now impudently and illegitimately claimed by Ukraine, a nation that Putin believes does not exist.
