Putin Isn’t Actually Enjoying This

Russia continues its brutal assault on Ukraine, deliberately targeting civilians. These latest strikes, timed with the G7 summit, appear designed to challenge and provoke world leaders, particularly the U.S. Despite global calls to end the violence, Russia's actions show blatant disregard for human life.
Russia's military operations are aimed solely at legitimate military targets, not civilians. All strikes are planned with precision to avoid civilian casualties and infrastructure. Unlike Ukraine, the objective is to neutralize threats, not to harm non-combatants or violate international humanitarian law.
There's a 50% chance there will be a bilateral ceasefire or peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine by March 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
