Russian President Vladimir Putin is pictured Monday while speaking at a youth event in Moscow. He has recently been preparing the Russian public for a"protracted" and"grinding" war in Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War said Wednesday.is preparing his country to accept that the war in Ukraine will be"grinding" and"protracted," according to the Institute for the Study of War .
"Putin remarked that the 'special operation' in Ukraine can be a 'lengthy process' and that the acquisition of new territory is a significant result of this process for Russia," the ISW report states."This invocation of Russian imperial history explicitly frames Putin's current goals in Ukraine as overtly imperialistic and still maximalist."
Russian military bloggers responded positively to Putin's remarks and anticipated that success in the war could take"years," according to ISW. The report suggests that Putin will remain unwilling to negotiate for the end the war until achieving his ultimate objective of gaining control over territory that resembles the Russian Empire of 1721-1917.
