No, I think you are right, and that's an opinion that will get you flamed by basically everyone for saying. If Putin wanted Ukraine he'd have turned Kiev to rubble and shot a hypersonic missile up zelinskies ass. I think he wants Ukraine to remain relatively stable and not get completely subsumed by insane radicals, and if that means the war has to go on for a couple/few years at least it doesn't end looking like Libya, and that might mean leaving zelinsky in charge and waiting for the Ukrainians to strike themselves out. Its fucking stupid that we have responded by telling them to throw more bodies at a meat grinder to turn back an agreement everyone there wanted, we have some sick people in charge.
