Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union, and without Ukraine it will not happen, she said.

“Let’s wait to see if Donald Trump will stop the war and whether Ukraine will run 80% of its territory – which, incidentally, would be a great success. Of course, this is not how Vladimir Putin imagined it three years ago,” he said in an interview with Czech newspaper Denik Nen.
He suggested that such a scenario, although it would not bring a complete victory, would still mean a strategic defeat for Russia and limit its ability to extend west.
“I am deeply convinced that Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union. And he needs Ukraine. The Soviet Union without Ukraine is not the Soviet Union,” he said.
Occupied territories are the main newsAs of March 2025, the Russian Federation controls approximately 20% of the territory of Ukraine, which is more than 112 thousand square kilometers. These territories include the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. Since the beginning of a full -scale invasion in 2022 and subsequent hostilities, the front line has changed, but much of the Ukrainian lands remains under occupation.
According to UNIAN, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine cannot return all the occupied territories at the moment, since there is not enough available assistance from partners. He stressed that it is impossible to lose millions of people “for the sake of the result that it may not come.”
