Putin wants to/will take over Ukraine completely & put in another government under his control. Then he'll set up military bases all over Ukraine as a deterrent towards NATO/US.
Sanctions won't work against Russia only minimal impact if anything... Putin met Imran Khan of Pakistan today to sign another gas deal. China has eased trade restrictions with Russia as we speak..
Putin has the very best poker hand at the table so to speak as NATO/US are at a loss as to what they can do next - military action not an option either as Russia & China combined would wipe us all out in 24hrs imo
