"It’s been nearly eight months since Russian President Vladimir Putin
sent troops and tanks over the border into Ukraine, and a lot has
changed in that time. Ukraine has shown itself to be a far more robust
military force than pretty much anyone predicted. Talk has changed from
wondering how long Ukraine could hold out to how much territory it can
retake — and to when and how the war will end.
But it’s still hard to imagine how Putin’s war on Ukraine will conclude.
Does Putin even have an endgame? If he really wants to control Ukrainian
territory, why does he seem so bent on destroying it?
To get insights into these questions, I reached out to Fiona Hill, one
of America’s most clear-eyed observers of Russia and Putin, who served
as an adviser to former President Donald Trump and gained fame for her
testimony in his first impeachment trial. In the early days of Russia’s
war on Ukraine, Hill warned in an interview with POLITICO that what
Putin was trying to do was not only seize Ukraine but destroy the
current world order. And she recognized from the start that Putin would
use the threat of nuclear conflict to try to get his way.
Now, despite the setbacks Russia has suffered on the battlefield, Hill
thinks Putin is undaunted. She sees him adapting to new conditions, not
giving up. And she sees him trying to get the West to accede to his aims
by using messengers like billionaire Elon Musk to propose arrangements
that would end the conflict on his terms.
“Putin plays the egos of big men, gives them a sense that they can play
a role. But in reality, they’re just direct transmitters of messages
from Vladimir Putin,” Hill says."
