Putin wants an “empire” – also with the help of Soviet material: “Casualties are an acceptable price”. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian army has been able to take out around 3,000 tanks, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) So far, the high losses do not appear to be a cause for concern for Putin.
Putin has great ambitions. Russia should regain its old greatness following the Soviet model.
