AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s not going to be easy for Putin to take Kyiv. That’s obviously his prize & hidden agenda. A forced surrender of Kyiv. It’s stalled. Russia doesn’t have the manpower. It can level the city? The residents will live to fight. Meanwhile, as he contemplates next steps, Putin is choosing to default on loans due and causing the EU to experience A Diesel shortage. They’re also considering taking the Ukrainians into NATO, something not on the table before. As I said , with almost a Trillion Dollars spent, Putin will at best, have a Pyrrhic victory.
