MOSCOW — As Vladimir Putin persists in his bloody campaign to conquer Ukraine, the Russian leader is directing an equally momentous transformation at home — re-engineering his country into a regressive, militarized society that views the West as its mortal enemy.

Putin’s inauguration on Tuesday for a fifth term will not only mark his 25-year-long grip on power but also showcase Russia’s shift into what pro-Kremlin commentators call a “revolutionary power,” set on upending the global order, making its own rules, and demanding that totalitarian autocracy be respected as a legitimate alternative to democracy in a world redivided by big powers into spheres of influence.

 

Russian plot to kill Zelensky foiled, Kyiv says

The Ukrainian security service (SBU) says it has foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelensky and other high-ranking Ukrainian officials.
Two Ukrainian government protection unit colonels have been arrested.
The SBU said they were part of a network of agents belonging to the Russian state security service (FSB).
They had reportedly been searching for willing "executors" among Mr Zelensky's bodyguards to kidnap and kill him.

 

Holy crap. That’s like some James Bond stuff right there.

 

Why didn't the colonels do it themselves? Oh, yeah, they wanted to get paid for the hit done by an underling.

 

A bit too much Robert Ludlum, I think.

 

Those Ukrainian colonels must not know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut.

 

We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.

 

Here's the perspective of a Ukrainian young person regarding Russia. Ukraine must win this war.

Ukraine Has Changed Too Much to Compromise With Russia
