Right that he doesn't want the whole Ukraine, and I would say that he doesn't even want a part of it.I believe that Putin does not want the whole of Ukraine.
He wants everything east of the Dnieper River where most pro-Russian Ukrainians live while giving him enough of a defensive buffer against any future NATO aggressive aspirations.
He wants the security of the Ukraine being a non-Nato country that rests up against his border.
Are you aware that the Russians were doublecrossed by America's agreement on no further expansion toward Russia's borders by Nato?
It was verbal and so the US maintains that it can reneg because it wasn't in writing. That's only US making up rules for the game and Russia not accepting those rules. Russia/Putin are resolute that the rules apply to the verbal agreement.
It's just the facts!
