The UK Times reports:

Putin believes he’s winning his war on the West. He may be right

Success on the battlefield and backing from India and China mean the Kremlin leader is under no pressure to sign a Ukraine peace deal

Another nonsense headline.

[1] Putin is not at war with the west, the west/NATO is engaged in a proxy war with Russia.

[2] Russia is slowly winning on the battlefield - that's the reality on the ground - who gives up when they are winning. Would NATO?

[3] No-one in their right mind in Russia, and especially not Putin, after years of war and hundred of thousands of casualities, is going to give up hard-won territory or allow 'slivers' of the Donbass to remain in Ukrainian hands for use by NATO. That's just insane.

[4] The west pushed Russia towards India and China with their sanctions regime - so they are getting what they wished for.

To FNN, this looks like the MSM starting to prepare readers fed on their delusional narratives for a 'peace' that NATO did not 'win'.
