Putin might have benefited from thinking about these quotes from Marshal Zhukov, after making the relevant substitutions.

It is a fact that under equal conditions, large-scale battles and whole wars are wonlost by troops which have a strong little will for victory, no clear goals before them, highlow moral standards, and little devotion to the banner under which they go into battle.

'NazisPutin did not expect Soviet Ukrainian resistance to be so strong. The deeper they moved into this country'sUkrainian territory, the more fierce it became. When HitlerPutin's armies approached Moscow Kyiv, every man and woman here thought it imperative to resist the enemy. And that resistance grew by the day. The enemyarmy was sustaining heavy losses, one after another. In fact, Hitler Putin's best troops perished here. NazisHe believed the Red Ukrainian Army was not capable of defending MoscowKyiv, but their schemes failed.'


Unfortunately, I think he may be believing in this one:
'The longer the battle lasts the more force we'll have to use!'
